Alexandre Masse, a student in Montreal, delivered a petition to the Quebec National Assembly on June 10, 2026. The document calls for enhanced traffic safety measures in school zones, citing the need to protect children crossing streets near educational facilities.
Masse's request follows a personal near‑miss incident that occurred while he was walking to school. The close call prompted him to observe the flow of vehicles during school pickup and drop‑off periods. He recorded the volume and patterns of traffic outside his school, noting the potential hazards for pedestrians.
The petition, prepared by Masse, outlines the observations he gathered and asks provincial authorities to consider improvements to traffic control in school‑zone areas. By presenting the petition to the National Assembly, Masse seeks to bring attention to the everyday risks faced by students and to encourage the implementation of safety measures such as reduced speed limits, better signage, or designated crossing zones.
The delivery of the petition marks a formal step in the student's advocacy effort. While no specific legislative response has been announced, the presentation to the Assembly provides an official record of the concerns raised. Masse hopes that the documented evidence of traffic conditions will support discussions among policymakers and contribute to future decisions aimed at safeguarding school‑zone environments in Montreal and across Quebec.
