The need to facilitate and encourage bicycle access to downtown Montreal has long been a concern expressed by the cycling community. The process that has been initiated by the municipality in cooperation with Velo Quebec responds to a specific need to improve safety for cyclists. The proposals formulated by Velo Quebec are based on guiding principles that include the comfort and safety of cyclists as well as respect for the priority of pedestrians and transit.
