Only possible where there is a parking lane, into which the curb can be extended.

Another nice design feature are these curb extensions at driveways. These daylight (ensure good visibility) at the driveway and avoid a strong dip in the cycle track to create a ramp for crossing vehicles.

An innovative feature is the inclusion of rainwater channels that drain water from the roadway to the tree trenches across the cycle track.

Unlike other recent reconstruction projects with raised cycle tracks, these ones have a cross-slope towards the sidewalk. This has two benefits: (1) the roadway curb is full height (150 mm), limiting vehicular encroachment; (2) rainwater drains into the trenches between the cycle track and sidewalk.

The median was built in 2018. The trees and other perennial plants went in the following year.

Ceci n'est pas un carrefour giratoire !
Le seule véritable giratoire cyclable à Montréal se situe sur la piste du canal de Lachine, à l'ouest du Marché Atwater www.google.com/maps/@45.471...

La revue de presse de Paul Arcand | Déneigement : « Pourquoi la piste cyclable est nettoyée avant le trottoir adjacent ? »
À l’occasion de sa revue de presse jeudi matin, Paul Arcand aborde l’opération déneigement à Montréal, alors que la Ville ne sait pas quand le tout sera terminé.

Snow clearing operations can occur several times a day during snow events. On sidewalks and bike lanes, clearing is triggered as soon 2.5 cm of snow have accumulated.
Removal operations are typically done 4 to 6 times per winter season. They are wildly complex and expensive.

There are two types of operations: clearing and removal.
Clearing entails pushing snow off of sidewalks, bike lanes and traffic lanes into windrows along the street.
Removal entails loading piled up snow onto dump trucks and carting it away to disposal sites.
The app is for the latter.

My partner and I cleared those! Some of our neighbours aren’t quite as motivated.
