Some Outremont residents formed a human chain on Tuesday morning to protest the removal of a bike path along Lajoie. The borough’s Ensemble mayor says it will reopen for bikes on March 31 next year.

I don’t really understand how it is being considered a “protected” bike path… the Lajoie bike path is just painted. For that matter how do you “remove” a painted bike path?
Worth noting, Lajoie has a 20km speed limit, stop signs at every corner, and crossing guards at every crosswalk from McEachran to Outremont… it’s still pretty darn safe.

Usually mechanical abrasion. See section 7.3 here.

They’re not doing that, though.
