Valerie Plante’s Projet Montreal was attacked by Ensemble Montreal leader Denis Coderre for supposedly waging a war on cars due to her party’s plan to build bike paths.

Plante was also in the hot seat for not advancing the expansion of the blue line and one of her cornerstone campaign promises, the pink line, a transit project that would run from Lachine through downtown to Montréal-North.
