A few updated pics of Montreal's REV (cycling express network), this one on St. Denis. The work is 90% completed meaning one can bike from North to South island of Montreal without leaving a unified REV network. These are extra-wide bike lanes (approximately 2.5 m on each side of the street which allows faster cyclists to bypass slower ones, and leaves a lot of shoulder room between cyclists and cars). On side note, the city of MTL created a new fund of $1.5 million in order to compensate merchants along St. Denis affected by the construction work - I don't know how effective this is given that some of the merchants are plain anti-bike no matter how much you compensate them
Another part of the REV network is the reconstruction of downtown MTL's Peel Street. This one is undergoing a complete makeover, with fully separate/raised cycle lane on each side of the street:
