I am creating this thread as I want a place to park information on what is happening in our closest sibling. It is relevant because a lot of the players here are actually national. Canada Lands is developing Downsview so it is interesting to see who they are using in other cities. Montreal is also rapidly developing its waterfront and is probably the second biggest transformation in NA after Toronto.

Thanks for creating this thread. I've only been to Montreal a handful of times and know very little about it, so it would be fascinating to be able to follow what's going on in our biggest rival.
 
Toronto can learn a lot from Montreal. In many ways it feels like it's a bigger city. We need to go learn from them how to build public spaces. Is it even to build something like the Quartier des spectacles in Toronto ? It's impossible.
 
Toronto could definitely learn from Montreal how to do public spaces and how to do bike lanes properly.

Having lived in Montreal for many years, I agree that we could learn from them but they could also learn from us. The public consultation process here, while not perfect, is FAR more useful and effective. Frankly, we can all learn from other places and other people!
 
Not sure if this is inspiration or not….Montreal Fire Fighters struggle to move an illegally parked Amazon Van so they can get out of the station and get to the call. The driver, when he shows, could care less and flips them the bird….good show Amazon.

City of Montreal announces $12M to renew seasonal pedestrian-only streets over 3 years​


Montrealers can get used to taking a stroll on several car-free streets during the summer in the years to come, thanks to a new commitment from the city.

The City of Montreal announced on Friday that it is allocating millions of dollars to continue turning select arteries into seasonal pedestrian-only streets for the next three years and setting aside funds to create new ones.

Mayor Valerie Plante's office announced $12 million will be invested in the project, citing a "growing" demand for car-free streets during the summer months.

The city says $10 million will be directed to renewing nine existing pedestrianized streets: Mont-Royal, Duluth, De Castelnau, Wellington, Ontario, Saint-Denis, Sainte-Catherine East, Saint-Hubert and Bernard. The merchant associations in those areas will not have to requalify for the seasonal transformation through 2027 under the new program. The funding ceiling is also increasing, from $375,000 to $700,000.
