MONTREAL - Ste. Catherine St. will become a four-kilometre pedestrian mall from St. Marc St. to Papineau Ave. on Saturday and Sunday, the city of Montreal has announced.

Montrealers are invited to take a stroll down Ste. Catherine St. this weekend to appreciate, without the presence of cars, the varied architecture lining the street as well as the colourful neighbourhoods they pass through, Mayor Gérald Tremblay said Thursday in a news release.

The two-day pedestrian mall initiative will feature mural displays, in-line skating demonstrations, live music and dance shows, outdoor terraces and graffiti contests.

The project coincides with the annual downtown sidewalk sale between St. Marc and Bleury Sts.

..............I think Verdun usually closes down Wellington in some fashion as well,for street sales etc etc ................  Take some pics ,we'd love to see them   -HF&RV-
