New parking change on Lansdowne ave

The City of Westmount wishes to advise you of the change in parking from the west side of the street to the east side of the street effective June 1, 2021.

After a three-year analysis, it was strongly recommended that this change be undertaken to ensure the safety of pedestrians, cyclists and local residents.
Since there are fewer driveways on the east side, which can be a hazard to cyclists, it made sense to move the parking area to that side of the street.
It can become a matter of life and death when bicycles come into play, especially if the bike lane is on the same side of the street as the parked cars.
Many people open their car doors without looking in their mirrors before exiting the vehicle.

Please note that the signage will also be moved to the east side of the street.
