Montreal - Plateau to close 10 to 15 streets

Projet Montréal has unleashed another volley in its battle with cars in the Plateau.

Mayor Luc Ferrandez announced the borough will close off one of the Plateau's north-south streets to cars, and next year dig it up to expand a local park.

The move is a first step toward undoing decades of urban planning that favoured cars over people, Ferrandez said yesterday.
