Reserved lane for buses and taxis on Langelier Boulevard, between Dumesnil Street and Sherbrooke Street East, in both directions, starting November 23, 2020
Montréal, November 19, 2020 – The Société de transport de Montréal (STM) is announcing the implementation of its reserved lane for buses and taxis on Langelier Boulevard, between Dumesnil Street and Sherbrooke Street East in the Saint-Léonard and Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve boroughs, in both directions, starting November 23, 2020.
Totalling 5 km in length (both directions), the reserved lane will be in operation Monday to Friday from 6:30 to 9:30 a.m., southbound, and from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m, northbound. Please note that bicycles will be allowed on the section between Bélanger Street and Sherbrooke Street East. Other bus priority measures (BPM) will be implemented in a second phase on Langelier Boulevard, with the addition of priority traffic lights (white candlestick lights) and the replacement of traffic light controls to detect buses at intersections and respond to real-time requests for priority sent by buses, improving travel times. These measures will benefit approximately 18,000 trips daily, nearly half of which are during peak periods on the 33 bus line.
This work is made possible through funding from the Ministère des Transports du Québec.
