Projet Montreal, led by urban planner Richard Bergeron, campaigns for car-free development in civic election campaign.
"Though Bergeron and his new party, Projet Montreal, are campaigning across the city on a host of issues - sustainable development, more social housing, true democracy - the tyranny of the car and the necessity to wrest central Montreal free from its evils is a major theme that inspires Bergeron's campaign in the Nov. 6 municipal election.
About half the points on the Projet Montreal platform deal with reclaiming public space from cars and improving public transit. These aren't exactly mainstream ideas and you'll probably not hear many of them uttered by the two front-running mayoral candidates, incumbent Gerald Tremblay and his chief rival, Pierre Bourque."
