Hochelaga bike path plan scaled back in Montreal amid local backlash and concerns See what changed in Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve and why residents are pushing back

Montreal officials have scaled back a planned bike path along Hochelaga Street, ending the project before it reaches the eastern section originally expected by residents in Mercier–HochelagaMaisonneuve. The change has drawn criticism from borough councillor Sarah Doyon, who said she was surprised by the decision and raised concerns about the lack of public consultation. The revised plan affects a local transportation project that had been promoted as part of efforts to improve cycling infrastructure in the area.
