🇨🇦 Montreal Walking Tour - Street Life in Downtown Montreal [4K HDR 60fps]

This week we're walking the Pedestrian Streets of Montréal. Pedestrian streets are particularly popular in Montréal, and are part of their unique urban landscape. Montréal's colourful streets encourage people to connect with places, and ensure the vibrancy of neighbourhoods and their businesses.

The increased safety of pedestrian streets is also a big plus. With cars prohibited or tightly controlled, pedestrians feel much safer and the risk of accidents is much lower. Nuisances caused by vehicle traffic, such as stress and air and noise pollution, are also greatly reduced. Finally, the more spacious layout of these streets allows each walker to choose his or her own pace, regardless of physical condition, and encourages active mobility.

The city is capitalizing on the great potential of local streets to create new neighbourhood public places where people can meet. Converting streets to pedestrian malls is part of this process and encourages appropriation of public spaces, discovery of local neighbourhoods and interactions between those who make them come alive.

Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante has announced that 10 streets in the city will be pedestrian-only this summer. Montréal is a great city for walking and enjoying public places. The city will provide $12-million in funding for the pedestrianization of the commercial arteries spread over a three-year period.

Pedestrian and shared-use streets, whether permanent or seasonal, provide a safe, enjoyable walking environment in the heart of the city. These colourful streets have become a signature and a staple of summer in Montreal.

Try one out and you’ll discover new meeting places and opportunities for relaxation and entertainment in the heart of your favourite neighbourhoods.

Nice video! Montreal is such an art city. But to those who hope to visit downtown Montreal- please note this not downtown. These are neighborhoods. I lived here many years. It is much busier and crowded downtown.
