Park Avenue to be made safer

SMF promised Friday to make Park Avenue safer all the way from Pine to Jean‑Talon. A period of reflection and consultation has been suggested over what to do next.

Plateau mayor Cathy Wong says it’s a vague announcement – she was hoping there was already enough information collected to move ahead with concrete plans for better cyclist and pedestrian safety.

SMF’s administration has a style, i.e. lots of public consultation, after which proposed new ideas will be set aside in favour of traffic fluidity and parking. In 2029, will we be looking back at four years of unimaginative status quo?
