The previous Mayor of Montreal, who ran for Projet Montréal campaigned partly on expanding bike lanes and followed through on several major bike lane projects.
I don’t know the history of this specific bike lane, but I know it’s a small street that normally doesn’t get a ton of traffic. It’s a perfect street to host a bike lane, but it’s a somewhat upper-class neighborhood and the residents want their street parking, and bikes are for the poor.
That’s what seems strange as well. I remember seeing the mayor getting praised for the new bike lanes too. Kinda made me wonder if Ensemble Montréal was lying for a second, but if they were, it would’ve been easily disproven.
