Airport fallout and city priorities: Mayor Bibeau on what comes next

In this segment on CJMQ 88.9 FM, Sherbrooke Mayor Marie-Claude Bibeau speaks with William Crooks about several key issues currently before city council, with a particular focus on governance challenges at the Sherbrooke airport. Following a critical report from the Commission municipale du Québec, Bibeau explains how the city is working with an interim board to stabilize airport operations, implement corrective measures, and safeguard the airport’s role in regional economic development.

The discussion also addresses the city’s relationship with neighbouring municipalities, concerns raised by property owners in the Ascot-Lennox forest, and the balance between environmental protection and development. Bibeau further outlines how the city is reassessing downtown circulation and pedestrianization along Wellington North, and provides an update on the Lennoxville bike path file, including why previous proposals were rejected and what residents can expect moving forward.
