That was an enlightening article. Oddly, though it’s focused on Quebec City and goes into such detail about the various transformations and issues that have occurred over the years for Rue Saint-Jean, I’m surprised there was no mention at all of Rue Saint-Joseph in nearby Saint-Roch. I think that street has gone through even more changes than Saint-Hubert. The first time I walked it in the 1980s, the street had a glass roof and tile pavement as if it were a corridor in a shopping mall. It had been pedestrianized years earlier, and the roof was removed in 2000. The street is open to cars again, but looks better and it’s still a lively spot.
