The Rosemont-La-Petite-Patrie borough in Montreal is taking steps to enhance safety in school zones by limiting car access on specific residential streets. Mayor François Limoges highlighted the need for fewer vehicles on roads like Dandurand, which sees around 4,300 cars daily and is surrounded by three schools, daycare centers, and parks. The borough plans to start with three school zones this year, reconfiguring nearby streets, including making Dandurand one-way in various directions. This initiative is part of a broader effort following the tragic death of Mariia Legenkovska, a seven-year-old girl killed by a driver in 2022. Limoges noted that while some residents welcome the changes for improving safety, critics may perceive it as an anti-car initiative. The borough has already reduced speed limits and added speed bumps, with plans to implement similar changes in other school zones over the next three years, aiming to create safer environments for children.
