From My Bottom Step

A 15-block stretch of of the Montreal ‘Ville-Marie’ borough’s Sainte-Catherine street will be ‘pedestrianized’ this summer (June 17 – Sept 3), making it the city’s longest pedestrian mall. ⁰¹

“…all things considered, it can be looked at as a good test case. It will probably be some fun too.” ⁰²

The “plan’s creator, Ville Marie Mayor Benoît Labonté, says the mall will be the longest in Canada. And he says it will cost taxpayers only $50,000.” ⁰³
