It’s official: 9 km of road in 7 boroughs will be car-free this summer, including one Montreal street that recently ranked one of the coolest streets in the world.

The 2-km strip bordered by rue de Bellechasse and rue Jean-Talon is making headlines thanks to its fresh new look and a slew of buzzy new restaurants and killer bar openings (we dare you not to fall in love with this country-themed saloon).
