The City of Montreal is considering adopting a Pedestrian Charter (Toronto was the first North American city to adopt one, in 2002).
Unlike Toronto’s, which is a general statement of principles, Montreal’s proposed Charter seems to include specific policies, such as banning cellphone use by drivers, lowering speed limits, introducing more pedestrian-only streets, cracking down on construction and delivery companies that block sidewalks, and creating a dedicated office for correcting dangerous intersections. Much of the focus appears to be on safety.
(The City of Toronto has just started the process of developing a Pedestrian Master Plan which will deal with these kinds of specific policies).
