Outremont | Des écoles s’entrechoquent autour d’une rue fermée
AI Article Summary

In Outremont, a section of Avenue de L’Épée has been closed to vehicular traffic since May, leading to a clash between different school communities. Parents from two primary schools, Nouvelle-Querbes and Saint-Anne-Buissonnière, have differing views on the closure's impact on safety and accessibility. Hassidic families are concerned about the disruption to school bus routes, while some parents see the closure as a safety improvement. Proposed solutions include smaller buses and parent-led 'trottibus' escorts for children, but there is resistance from parts of the community.
