Pretty cool that the merchants voted in favour of this instead of complaining about parking or something.
As an aside: whenever I hear any news about the Plaza, I’m always reminded of one of my favourite old-timey Montreal commercials: https://youtu.be/BwMV-QwcbyE

There’s tons of parking one street over, just in behind the commercial access alleys – very much not an issue.

Thomas, that’s hilarious. I like how we’re told twice that we can take the metro.

And almost all shots are taken from… fast driving cars!

Oh that’s cool! That part of St-Hubert is always entertaining just to walk up in the summer. So much going on. Pedestrianized will make it even more fun.

I live a couple of blocks away so I’m often on St-Hubert, and on the weekends it’s a real madhouse. Completely gridlocked and dominated by traffic, most of which is probably people looking for parking.
It has a special atmosphere during the summer street fairs, a real market street, and it would be pretty interesting to see how that develops over an entire summer instead of just a few days.

It was nicer when there were big trees, but yes, it’s got its own atmosphere.
