Cyclists to inaugurate REV
I’m a bit late reporting this because I only found it on Facebook, but a bike ride to inaugurate the REV on St-Denis is meant to start Saturday at 11:00 in north-end Parc Jeanne-Sauvé and go southward toward Roy.
Radio-Canada talked to the mother of Mathilde Blais, killed on her bike six years ago in the St‑Denis underpass. Geneviève Laborde is delighted with the REV – and it’s refreshing to read a piece that isn’t about how much people hate it.

I’ve been using it a lot lately as it’s nearly all finished (except for the stretch on St-Denis between Jarry and Jean-Talon). It’s not perfect, but it’s very nice, and it’s great to have a consistent north-south route for cycling that doesn’t require a million zig-zags. And beyond its utility for cycling, it really has improved the atmosphere in the commercial district, thanks to the calmer traffic and the extra pedestrian crossings. There will be new greenery planted next spring, too.
