Westmount all-out in the summer!
The City is launching a new temporary public space on de Maisonneuve.
The City of Westmount is reimagining some spaces this summer to enliven local arteries and increase the number of convivial public areas. In June 2022, a new temporary public space will be inaugurated on De Maisonneuve Boulevard, between Atwater and Wood.
This year, the City is providing a new shared street space in a convenient location, right outside the Atwater metro exit pavilion, in front of Dawson College and Place Alexis-Nihon. The area will be temporarily transformed with street paint, street furniture and greenery.
After more than two years of closure due to work by the STM, this section of de Maisonneuve Boulevard was reopened to traffic in December 2021. As a traffic-calming measure, only one westbound lane was reopened to vehicles. This summer’s project reclaims part of the street for different uses and animation.
The return of temporary public spaces in Quartier Greene and Victoria Village for a 3rd consecutive year
- 3 public terraces in Victoria Village
- Pedestrian zone on the east side of Greene
The temporary installations will all be in place until the fall of 2022 or until further notice. These projects allow the City of Westmount to respond to the diverse needs of the community while trying out some planning ideas to bring us closer to a human-scale city.
