More on bike paths and street lanes
Radio-Canada says some businesses along St-Denis will have to remove their terrasses so the city can put in the Réseau express vélo. Romain Schué talks to angry business owners.
On the other side of the coin, Le Devoir finds that many motorists are ignoring the new temporary pedestrianized areas and driving through anyway.
On the whole, François Cardinal is in favour of pedestrianization of local commercial streets.

It seems like most of the streets mentioned in the Devoir article are “rues familiales et actives” which ban through traffic but not all cars. I live on one of them and even though there are clearly lots of people who still use my block as a through street, there’s been a noticeable reduction in the volume and speed of traffic. It’s a nice initiative and I can see it coming back in future summers because it doesn’t restrict access or parking, but it does seem successful at calming traffic.
