The bike path along Hochelaga is being cut short – La Presse’s headline says by a third, but it’s more than that. SMF’s administration says it’s worried about congestion and losing parking spaces.
Talk about a bait and switch. The consultation focused on whether the path should stay on Hochelaga as planned, or be rerouted to De Rouen (requiring industrial land expropriations and a very expensive new viaduct across the railway tracks). At no point did the administration present the option of cutting the path short.
