The City implemented a pilot project concerning the triangle at the intersection of Avenues Claremont, Notre-Dame-de-Grâce and Westmount, as part of the planned reconstruction of Avenue Claremont.
From August to November 2024, temporary installations closed vehicular access to a section of Avenue Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, on the northeast side of the triangle.
Objectives
- Improve safety with a new design that better responds to issues raised by the public during the participatory workshop held in spring 2024.
- Take advantage of greening opportunities by repurposing an area of 515 square meters for a more sensible use of public space, which could help to reduce heat islands.
- Use the flexibility of the pilot project model to test a new design and gather data that will inform the formal reconstruction project.
