The Gazette
Published: 13 hours agoTomorrow's Tour de l'Île will cause the usual tieups in street traffic as tens of thousands of cyclists pedal through the east end of Montreal.
However, you can also expect some heavy bike traffic on the métro as cyclists make their way to and from the tour, which begins at 9:15 a.m. at Maisonneuve Park.
In the morning, the Orange line's Montmorency, Henri Bourassa, Côte Vertu and Vendôme stations will allow bicycles to enter, and they can exit at Beaubien. On the Green line, Radisson, Angrignon and de l'Église stations will welcome cyclists, and they must get off at Viau. On the Blue line, cyclists can embark at Snowdon and Outremont and disembark at St. Michel, while on the Yellow line, they can get on at Longueuil and off at Berri-UQÀM.
Bus schedules around the tour route will be altered for the duration of the rally. Consult stm.info for full details.
