Duluth Avenue Est will be a pedestrian zone this summer. Just like last year, it has been transformed into a "slow zone," meaning that cyclists, skateboarders, scooters and in-line skaters can use it as long as they drive slowly and yield priority to pedestrians at all times. Motorcycle-like electric bikes, scooters with flat floors and electric scooters are prohibited. 

Start date

Between Boulevard Saint-Laurent and Rue Saint-Hubert: May 14 to October 15 

Accessibility for seniors and people with reduced mobility

Once again this year, measures will be taken to promote harmonious and safe cohabitation. All sidewalk cafés must be universally accessible. In addition, all Avenue Duluth intersections can be used as drop-off points for adapted transportation.   

Signage

The road will be closed to traffic on May 6 to allow for the gradual installation of signage. Other adjustments will follow over the next few days. A few days will be needed to revert the street for car traffic once the pedestrian-only period is over. Please pay close attention to signage. The direction of traffic on Rue Rivard, between Rue Rachel and Avenue Duluth, will be reversed.

Morning collections, deliveries and street cleaning  

Collections, deliveries and street cleaning on Avenue Duluth will take place between 7 and 11 a.m. in the morning. Collections must be put out between 7 a.m. and 10 a.m. on collection day.

Waste sorting

Waste sorting stations will be installed on Avenue Duluth this summer during pedestrian-only season. Be sure to put your recyclables and compostables in the right places!  

Garbage cans at intersections  

To avoid garbage truck traffic and the nuisances that come with it (risk of collision, noise and odours), the mid-street garbage cans in the pedestrian zone have been relocated to intersections.  

Street fairs  

Three street fairs to help promote local businesses will take place on the avenue: June 12 to 16, August 17 to 18 and September 21 to 22. During these street fairs, terraces will exceptionally be open until 11 p.m.
