The Servitude Question — September 2026

QuestionWhy are the co-owners being asked to approve these servitudes?

AnswerThe purpose is to clarify responsibilities and reduce the burden and uncertainty currently carried by the co-owners. The infrastructure servitude is intended to transfer responsibility for the repair and maintenance of the aqueduct, sewer, and drainage infrastructure beneath the street to the City of Laval.

QuestionDoes the right-of-passage servitude give the public broad access through Aquablu?

AnswerNo. The proposed right of passage has been substantially reduced and is confined to one side of the project, adjacent to the Panorama seniors' residence. It is essentially a short connection between the existing walking path on Étienne-Lavoie and the waterfront path leading toward the seniors' residence.

QuestionWill this create a major new pathway through the development?

AnswerNo. The intention is to create a limited, clearly defined connection, not a general right of passage throughout the Aquablu property.

QuestionWhat is the principal benefit to the co-owners?

AnswerThe most significant benefit is the infrastructure arrangement. Rather than leaving the co-owners exposed to potentially substantial costs if the underground municipal infrastructure fails, the arrangement is intended to place responsibility for that infrastructure with the City of Laval.

QuestionWill this extension to the walking path cost Aquablu owners anything?

AnswerNo. All costs associated with extending the path will be covered by the City of Laval.

QuestionCan co-owners see exactly where the servitudes are located?

AnswerYes. The accompanying plans provide both a visual representation and the technical legal description of the areas affected by the servitudes.
