As of November 15, there’s a change on your bike paths. The bike lanes on Walkley and Lacombe will be maintained and cleared of snow throughout the winter.
Also on November 15, the other protected bike lanes will be removed for the winter, and cars will be able to resume curbside parking.
Our new 4-season protected bike lane network is located on :
- Walkley between Côte-Saint-Luc and de Terrebonne (NDG)
- Lacombe between Lemieux and Mckenna (CDN)
Information on improvements in 2023
The cycling network in CDN-NDG is being enhanced by making 9 km of existing bike lanes safer and adding nearly 3 km of protected two-way bike lanes. Cyclists will be able see the benefits in June 2023!
The addition of two bike lanes on Avenue Bourret and Avenue Walkley will bring the total number of kilometres of bike paths and lanes in CDN-NDG to nearly 40 km. These safer cycling routes are part of the Ville de Montréal’s 2019 Cycling Plan.
