Bike path in residential Montreal borough continues to spark controversy
Global News
Some residents are protesting a bike path soon to be constructed on a residential street. They met on Saturday to discuss how to stop the infrastructure project.
A new, bike-friendly version of Terrebonne Street in the Notre-Dame-de-Grâce borough will soon arrive in time for summer.
But some residents fiercely oppose it. They met on Saturday to discuss the changes that the new infrastructure will bring and are preparing to protest its construction.
“It’s going to be a nightmare,” says Irwin Rapoport, the event organizer. “We know this because of what happened when they tried to impose a similar bike path in 2020.”
That bike path caused such an uproar that it was removed after only a few months.
Since then, the borough invested over $200’000 studying how to better implement a similar project.
As a result, the street will become one way only and have two protected bike lanes.
It will also reduce street parking by over 60%, with residents only being able to park on one side.
The area houses multiple schools, a church, and a seniors home. Those opposed say the project does not take their needs into consideration, and that the study that it is based on is flawed.
