Survey: pilot project at Carré Copp
It was essentially during the summer of 2024 that the municipality proceeded with a project consisting of the installation of small decorative fences and signs, in the Carré Copp (Georgeville). The municipality had undertaken to come back to residents to validate the relevance of maintaining this project (see all survey results on the municipality’s website: link….).
The survey was made available in March 2025, and we are now in a position to draw some conclusions:
- 62 people answered the proposed questions. A special thanks to a member of the revitalization committee, Suzanne Tremblay, for her assistance in carrying out and distributing this survey;
- The average of all responses obtained gives a result of 3.8 out of 5 (or 76%). We also note that the median of responses (the result of the person in the middle of the respondents) puts the result at 4.2 (or 84%). This simply tells us that the satisfaction rate of the greatest number of respondents is relatively high, but that those who are less so indicated a low score;
- The ground markings and the positioning of the small fences received slightly lower scores than the others (average of 3.3 and 3.5 out of 5);
- A wide variety of comments were made, including :
Gratitude for the project, to the point of suggesting that these installations not be replaced;
The marking, done in 2023, not having held up as well as expected, we were told that in summer 2024 it was not very pretty;
A few comments on the advisability of building a sidewalk for pedestrians and managing vehicle speed by various other means;
The pruning of trees and shrubs around Carré Copp should be monitored;
The speed limit sign (15 Km/h), located near the inn, could be moved to the entrance of Carré Copp and this structure removed;
Parking near the dock should also be better controlled;
This survey shows us a rather comfortable general appreciation, but with well expressed contrary opinions. This indicates that the experience deserves a return, while remaining attentive to how citizens will live with it. Finally, adjustments of various kinds will need to be discussed with the municipality.
