You’ll hear everyone living in the suburbs around Montreal complain about the mayor, Valérie Plante, because she made certain streets pedestrian only, improved and added bike lanes, turned certain alleys into parks, which are all meant to reduce car traffic. But for the actual residents, the city has become so much better.

I really hope this can set an example for other Canadian cities that people can take the streets and our cities back from the car.
