MONTREAL — Montreal is planning to spend close to $31M to develop the city’s first urban promenade, which will link two iconic sites: the St. Lawrence River and Mount Royal.
The city has been considering the idea of creating a network of city walks, similar to the High Line in New York, La Promenade Plantée in Paris or La Ramblas in Barcelona, since 2010.

The executive committee gave the project a green light on Wednesday.
It will be created in connection with the 375th anniversary of the city and meander from the river to the mountain via McGill Street, Beaver Hall, Phillips Square, St. Catherine Street, McGill College Avenue, Sherbrook Avenue, McTavish Street and Pine Avenue.
