A long-term pedestrianization project for a section of Bernard Avenue was selected by the City of Montréal as part of its Programme d’implantation des rues piétonnes et partagées (shared and pedestrian streets program, known by its French acronym PIRPP). The aim of this program is to test new configurations for public roads with an eye to increasing space reserved for pedestrians and cyclists.
The preferred approach is to introduce transitional installations on Bernard in the first year (2021). The installations and the level of citizen satisfaction will be evaluated in order to improve the Bernard Avenue project in the second year (2022), with a view to implementing permanent changes in the third year (2023).
The transitional measures for 2021 will be undertaken on the sections located between Wiseman and Bloomfield avenues and will have two designs, i.e., complete pedestrianization from May to November (except at the intersections of Outremont and Champagneur avenues) followed by a partial reduction of the roadway during the winter.
