Car-Free Day is in effect downtown till 3:30.

In tangentially related news, the mayor has signed up 25 celebrities to speak against extending highway 25 into a bridge to Laval, something Quebec very much wants to do (all those voters in eastern Laval to cajole). Montreal would prefer to see the money spent on public transit, and not open another access to car commuters.

Even more tangentially: the Centre d'histoire de Montréal is doing events and a show on the urban horse, till Sunday.
