The Montreal borough of Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce has significantly reduced its planned rollout of parking meters on Sherbrooke Street West following strong feedback from residents and local businesses.
The revised plan cuts the number of meters nearly in half, limiting installation to about 250 spaces. Officials confirmed that meters will no longer be installed on side streets west of Décarie Blvd. or along a key stretch of Sherbrooke between Grand Blvd. and Beaconsfield Ave.

Acting mayor Sonny Moroz said the changes reflect a commitment to listening to citizens after a petition and widespread community input.
The borough says the project still aims to improve parking turnover and support local businesses, while reducing impacts on nearby residential streets. Some revenue from the meters will fund street improvements in partnership with the local business association.
Installation is expected to begin in mid-May, with meters gradually coming into service in June. A short grace period will allow drivers time to adjust before enforcement begins.
