During the summer of 2026, Rue Villeray was pedestrian-only from the back alley between Rue De Gaspé and Avenue Henri-Julien to Rue Berri. You enjoyed the beautiful season in a friendly setting, where you could find welcoming patios, colourful furniture, and a family-oriented program of events!

Description

From June 18 to August 17, 2026, Rue Villeray became pedestrian-only for the first time this summer. This new pedestrian street replaced Rue De Castelnau during a redevelopment project that is currently in progress

This shopping street in the heart of Villeray from the back alley between Rue De Gaspé and Avenue Henri-Julien to Rue Berri was a lively and welcoming public space this summer. Residents and passersby could gather and enjoy parklets, patios and relaxation areas in a friendly, village-like setting. 

Cyclists were allowed to ride slowly in the pedestrian zone, with caution and courtesy. Pedestrians had priority at all times.
