Pilot project restricting traffic on Mount Royal's Camillien-Houde Way begins on June 1
Starting on June 1, through traffic on Mont Royal’s Camillien-Houde Way will be blocked due to a controversial pilot project that was announced in February.
The purpose of the pilot project is to increase safety measures on Mount Royal.
In October 2017, a young cyclist was hit and killed by an SUV that made an illegal U-turn as he was going downhill on a curve near the lookout on Camillien-Houde.
Mayor Valérie Plante announced a timeline of the pilot project on Wednesday.
On Twitter, Plante provided more details regarding the pilot project and a public consultation.

“The consultations will accompany the implementation of the pilot project and will begin one month before it begins,” said Plante.
