Feel free to write from whatever point-of-view you most often experience it: cycling, walking or driving.<\/p>\n<p>I will start off the series with a photo I took of the awkward intersection of Cherrier and Parc Lafontaine. There, cyclists traveling from the Cherrier bike path to the Parc Lafontaine bike path must cross the pedestrian zone of this wide boulevard with no indication to drivers or pedestrians that they are crossing a &#8220;La Route Verte&#8221;. With pedestrians rushing across on this remarkably short short walk signal, cyclists cruising downhill from Cherrier, and cars anxiously trying to find a gap to turn north, I nominate this intersection as the worst in the Plateau-Mont Royal.<\/p>\n<p>Spacing Montreal readers hail from all corners of the city so I know we can look forward to seeing that little place of traffic mayhem nearest to you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We do a lot of celebrating our city here at Spacing Montreal, but we do our fair share of criticising, too.
