The City of Montreal identified 350 green lanes in 2019. A green lane is an alley that has been redeveloped by residents, with the assistance of a district or eco-neighborhood. The redevelopment of an alley can bring changes to motor traffic: complete, partial or seasonal closure. Facilities may vary between excavation of beds, installation of various types of furniture and marking on the ground. The type of covering can vary between asphalt/concrete, gravel, vegetated, plain pavement, honeycomb, grassy or a mixed of several of these elements. With the support of the Department de la concertation des arrondissements, the City of Montreal wanted to consolidate this information in order to inform citizens but also the services of its boroughs in order to publicize and protect these developments.
