Sector P, Brossard
Sector P has 40 official streets starting with P, including boulevards Plamondon and Provencher and streets named for artists such as Pellan, Picasso or Prévert. It has four parks, including Victorin park with its outdoor pool on avenue Pothier. With sector V, it covers the former Marie-Victorin and Parkland neighbourhoods.
Why do the streets in sector P start with P?
Brossard is divided into sectors, and each sector has its letter: almost all of its streets start with it. The system goes back to the 1960s master plan drawn up by the engineering firm Beauchemin, Beaton et Lapointe, so people could find their way in a city without a grid. The big boulevards cross several sectors and do not follow the letter. In sector P, the Commission de toponymie notes it on each street’s official record. [1, 6]
What was sector P before?
According to the history of Brossard published by the city in 1984, sectors P and V match the former Marie-Victorin and Parkland neighbourhoods. [6]
