It's hard to describe the startling QUIET of these open streets. Hundreds of people out, and all you hear are birds singing, the click of a bike mechanism, and the murmur of conversation. Cities aren't loud, cars are loud. #Montreal #OpenStreets

@mbonsma Is this where the city turns a major street into a pedestrian street for a day or two? Or are these permanent pedestrian streets?

I can't wait to visit again this year.

@ill_logic this one is semi-permanent, open from May to September or October. My friends who live nearby said that every year it's open a bit earlier in the season and stays open longer, so one day it might be permanent year-round!
@mbonsma I'm in love with that city. I will look for it when I'm there. Thank you!
