I work with a man for whom it’s a single-issue election. He found it easier to park his car when Coderre was mayor, so he wants Coderre back. I asked him about the Formula E, the rodeo, the stumps… He didn’t care because “those things didn’t affect [him] directly.”
Of course, I’m not convinced that he will actually bother to vote at all. But, to answer your question: no. A lot of people don’t care.
That’s the reaction I get from most people, too. “Plante only cares about bikes, and cyclists are terrible. Coderre can help me drive my car anywhere and park it anywhere.”
Many of them just hope Coderre will be elected, but won’t actually bother voting, if history is any indicator.
Sadly, quite a few people in the West Island (especially in parts of it that are part of the city of Montreal) care about cars and not much else, when looking for someone to vote for.

West Island has only Pierrefond-Roxboro as a MTL bourrough (Ile Bizard is more french), so it’s unimportant what they think.
