Protesters gathered on the corner of St. Laurent Boulevard and Karen Way on
Monday afternoon chanting “Easy on the Speed” to slow traffic in advance of the
2015 reconstruction to reduce the number of lanes on St. Laurent, which will
slow the pace of reckless traffic permanently. “I think that they should at the
very least have a pedestrian crossing sign here and, I think, a crosswalk
because people just don’t stop,” said Jasmine Robillard, a young mother who
frequently crosses St. Laurent to take her four-year-old son to Grandir
Ensemble, a francophone daycare. “You have to jaywalk, which is illegal, to get
to where you need to be.” via
