"As Eckerson has long advised, "Why go to Europe when best-practice streets are so much closer in Montreal?" And he's right; the so-called "City of a Hundred Steeples" really has it all. The city's Réseau express vélo (the REV!) grows by the year. Dramatic traffic calming and daylighting make the city's neighborhoods even nicer. Designs are innovative and cool. Streets around schools are safe. And Montreal is home to so many phenomenally long open streets and public spaces."
"And it's not just bikes! The city is in the midst of a transit expansion with Réseau express métropolitain (the REM!), a fully automated light rail that will be fully operational in two years. And don't forget the Montréal Métro, which runs extremely frequently - rush hour headways are just three minutes! - making it simple to get around only by biking, walking and train."
Montreal features a growing Réseau express vélo (REV) that expands annually to provide more protected cycling infrastructure. Dramatic traffic calming and daylighting enhance neighborhood livability and pedestrian safety. Street designs emphasize innovation, aesthetics, and safety, including safer streets near schools. The city hosts many exceptionally long open streets and public spaces that support vibrant street life. Transit expansion includes the fully automated Réseau express métropolitain (REM), planned to be fully operational in two years. The Montréal Métro offers very frequent service, with rush-hour headways around three minutes, enabling convenient travel by bike, foot, and train.
