Article - Ste. Anne bike path links north, south parts of town

Montreal Gazette, October 30

Phase One of Ste. Anne de Bellevue's bike path - a 1.5-kilometre circuit allowing cyclists to bike safely from Boulevard des Anciens Combattants to Chemin des Pins through McGill University and private lands - was inaugurated this week.

"Montreal is investing to create one of the largest bike path networks in North America. The development of Chemin Ste. Marie is part of our strategy to encourage travelling by bike and other active transportation methods, while reducing our dependence on cars," said André Lavallée, the city of Montreal's executive committee member in charge of urban planning and transit.
