8 Montreal streets are going pedestrian-only this summer

Signalling the unofficial start of summer, the City of Montreal has announced the 2025 schedule for 8 pedestrian streets, covering 7.3 kilometres and allowing foot traffic to 1,300 businesses.

The endeavour is part of a $12-million investment in the seasonal transformation of these streets through 2027, as announced last year. As Montreal city councillor Alia Hassan-Cournol said at the time, “Pedestrianized streets are now part of Montreal’s DNA.”
