Ville-Marie adds winter pedestrian street and lowers Pierre-Dupuy speed

Ville-Marie borough council has approved several street changes, including a winter pedestrian section of Balmoral Street and a lower speed limit on part of Pierre-Dupuy Avenue.

Balmoral Street between De Maisonneuve Boulevard West and Mayor Street is to become pedestrian-only during the winter season. The borough also set a 40 km/h limit on Pierre-Dupuy Avenue from the entrance to Dieppe Park to Mark-Drouin Quay.

The November 10 council decisions also include new traffic directions and a 30 km/h limit on streets in the developing Quartier des lumières area. The borough said the measures form part of its work on street safety and public-space management.

The council summary records the decisions; residents should continue to follow installed signs and local notices as the changes are implemented.
