“Making Montreal a cycling, accessible and green city benefits everyone”

Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante has reacted to a Globe and Mail editorial commending her leadership in making Montreal a greener and more accessible city that encourages cycling. Plante confirmed that all of the city’s projects are part of a vision to make Montreal more attractive for Montrealers to remain in the city.

Plante has been very outspoken about the importance of the ecological transition in Montreal, recently criticizing both the provincial and federal government for a lack of funding in public transport and green infrastructure. She has made it her mission to make downtown Montreal the greenest in North America.

Montreal was also recently named the best major city for cycling in North America.

“Making Montreal a cycling, accessible and green city benefits everyone! The projects of our administration are part of a vision: to densify the heart of the city, so that it remains attractive for families, young professionals and the entire Montreal population.”
