Rosemont to limit through traffic in nine lanes near La Petite-Patrie school

Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie says it will begin the final work on the first phase of its La Petite-Patrie school-zone safety project on Monday, October 26. The borough plans to limit through traffic in nine back lanes by installing planting boxes at selected entrances.

The lane changes follow street reconfigurations and the addition of cycling facilities completed during the summer. The borough said its planning considered deliveries, snow removal, business supply needs and customer parking after consultations with school and commercial communities.

What comes next

A later phase is expected to add planted curb extensions, safer school drop-off areas and other public-realm improvements around École La Petite-Patrie. The wider Quartiers-écoles program, launched in spring 2026, is intended to improve walking and cycling routes around local schools.
