Mont-Royal-Taking the street back.

The idea of pedestrian and transit only streets seems like a completely foreign idea in most North American cities, but might not be so far off. A group in Montreal's Mont-Royal neighborhood are coming together to for a group interested in shaping their community into a more pedestrian, transit and bike friendly area. One of the guiding questions in all of their efforts is whether we should be designing communities around the car, or whether we should be designing car use around our needs. Too many of our communities are car first and people second, hopefully not for long. la route verte
