      Lemme whisper in your ear, “The sidewalks are getting redone with paver stones, the intersections are getting raised to sidewalk level, and the bike lanes will connect directly with a larger protected bike lane network and directly to an in-progress new automated light metro station that will have 2.5-minute headways.”

            Awesome! I just got back from Montreal. The impression we (Europeans) got was that it’s pretty car-centric and the nicest parts of the city are used for parking lots, but it’s better than, say, Toronto. Nice to hear it’s improving.

              Yeah, it’s probably the most urbanist major city in North America (except NYC, but that’s in a league of its own), but even with that it’s still got way too many cars. Best thing about it, though, is that the populace is pretty pro-urbanism, and we got a very pro-density and pro-transit mayor and city council.
