The controversy follows the ministry's decision in 1995 to transfer north-south truck traffic from the roads parallel to the 133 and force it to converge, without an impact study, on chemin des Patriotes, a historical and heritage path that is on a fragile and weak soil and is in the most populated area. The resulting intense heavy traffic generates noise, vibrations, and pollution day and night, which cause health, insomnia, and safety problems in the local population.
In 1995, the Ministry's decision to transfer north-south truck traffic onto roads near the 133 and force it to converge on chemin des Patriotes has sparked controversy. This historical path, located in a densely populated area with fragile soil, lacks an impact study. The heavy traffic generated by this arrangement leads to persistent noise, vibrations, and pollution affecting local health, sleep quality, and safety.
