Projet Montréal souhaite continuer de piétonniser une partie du Vieux-Montréal
AI Article Summary

Projet Montréal plans to gradually pedestrianize certain areas of Old Montreal, including the streets de la Commune, Saint-Antoine, McGill, and Berri. Luc Rabouin, leader of Projet Montréal, wants to collaborate with local residents and businesses. Although the project is seen as economically beneficial by some, a survey reveals that 54% of surveyed merchants and residents oppose extensive pedestrianization.

What This Means for Canadian Contractors

This project illustrates how pedestrian-focused urban planning can impact traffic permits and delivery accessibility, requiring adjustments for local businesses. For Quebec builders, this means potential opportunities in redeveloping public spaces and enhancing pedestrian infrastructure. Closely collaborating with local authorities and merchants could be critical for anticipating material and labor needs.
