8 Montreal streets to be pedestrianized this summer

Thousands were in The Village in Montreal on Aug. 12, 2023 as the MTL Pride festivities lead up to the annual parade. (Daniel J. Rowe/CTV News) Eight Montreal streets are slated to be pedestrianized this summer, city officials announced on Monday. This means that over seven kilometres of asphalt will be car-free this summer, making over 1,300 local businesses accessible for pedestrians. The following streets will be blocked off to cars: Street Span Start End Mont-Royal Saint-Laurent to De Lorimier May 26 Sept. 4 Wellington 6th to Regina June 2 Sept. 19 Sainte-Catherine Saint-Cristophe to Papineau May 15 Oct. 14 Saint-Denis Sherbrooke to Saint-Catherine June 14 Sept. 15 Duluth Saint-Laurent to Saint-Hubert June 16 Oct. 16 Ontario Pie-IX to Darling June 16 Sept. 12 Bernard Wiseman to Bloomfield May 24 Sept. 21 Castelnau Saint-Denis to De Gaspe May 12 Nov. 7 Other arteries may be created in neighbourhoods throughout the city, based on each borough's plans. Place-du-Marché-Nord Street near the Jean-Talon Market, for example, will be pedestrianized on June 5, while Notre-Dame-de-Grâce's (NDG) Monkland Street between Melrose and Girouard will be car-free on the Aug. 21-24 weekend. 'Pedestrian streets have become staples of Montreal summers, in addition to making our city shine internationally,' said Projet Montréal Leader Luc Rabouin, who is on the economic development file on the executive committee. 'They are the beating heart of Montreal, enhancing the summer season and offering a comfortable, friendly and attractive street experience.'
