Come summer, this commercial street in the Villeray neighbourhood, between Avenue De Gaspé and Rue Saint-Denis, becomes a people-friendly public space. The pedestrianization of Rue De Castelnau, with its warm, colourful and refreshing installations, offers residents and visitors alike an all-new experience.

Parklets, commercial terraces and benches promote gatherings among small groups. The space features an exhibition of works by local artists along the way.

Place De Castelnau will not only become a pedestrian street again in this summer. It will also be upgraded significantly in the next few years. Montréal is taking advantage of the reconstruction of the sewer and water systems on Rue De Castelnau Est, scheduled for 2024-2025, to develop a permanent urban design for Place De Castelnau. To learn more and follow the progress of the project, visit the project page on Réalisons Montréal (in French).
