Revamping Saint-Denis Street Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante explains how the city plans to bring life back to Saint-Denis Street.

MONTREAL — The St. Denis Merchants Association and the City of Montreal have unveiled the re-launch of the street that has long struggled with rising numbers of vacancies and long-term construction projects.

They're calling it "a small revolution for a big street," and it will include art installations, gourmet weekends and an illumination program in 2022.

The vacancy rate has dropped from 26 to 23 per cent, and the new bike lanes are open, as well as sewer construction completed.

"It benefits the entire entertainment and shopping experience," said Montreal Mayor Valerie Plante.
