Outremont has won the race to be the first Ensemble Montreal borough/arrondissement to remove a bike lane.
New mayor Caroline Braun didn't waste any time deciding that citizens using active transport to travel safely in her town are citizens whose safety she doesn't value.

Do kids bike to school on Lajoie in winter? Yes! Photo taken 30 minutes ago on my walk along Lajoie to get to a meeting.

Au dernier conseil d'arrondissement d'Outremont, un citoyen demande ce qui adviendra de la sécurisation sur Lajoie. Réponse vague. 5 minutes plus tard, la mairesse vote le retrait de la piste cyclable, sans plus d’explications. Opaque et sans consultation vous dites?

I often wondered about this. J’ai enfin la réponse.
I hadn't given it much thoughts until now but I just learned that there is a reason why in most French-speaking countries 'eighty' is 'quatre-vingts' -- literally 'four twenties' -- and that reason is the ghostly presence of the ancient Gauls' base 20 counting system.

Is it ever nice to see the sign for the airport. My brother-in-law figured out how to cycle there to catch a flight, but taking the train is far more practical. 😁
Very open design. Deep station, but it feels light and airy—like the Elizabeth Line platforms in central #London.

I missed it by a day. Spectacular. Too much cloud cover in Montréal tonight
I am on my way home to Toronto and the aurorae are absolutely phenomenal.
If you are anywhere in the northern half of the continent, get outside and look up! Or better still, put your camera on a 10 second exposure and point it up.

It cost tens of millions of dollars to get autoroute runoff out of our drinking water. It should never have been built that way in the first place. So much bad design from that era that later needed fixing.
As I said above, Montreal still healing from "autoroutification", where highway-style interchanges were believed to be the solution for unusual urban intersections, prime example being the Pine-Parc interchange.
Look at that monstrosity, impossible to cross on foot.
