Luc Rabouin wants fear to be limited to costumes, not intersections
Montreal, October 31, 2025 — On this Halloween night, as the streets fill with children and families, Projet Montréal leader Luc Rabouin reminded everyone that vigilance on the roads should not be limited to one night a year. He pledged to continue working to make Montreal's streets safer for the most vulnerable, all year round.
“Tonight, our streets are filled with children in costumes, laughing parents, and neighbors meeting each other. It's a moment we love because it brings our neighborhoods to life. But the vigilance we ask of motorists on Halloween night must be maintained 365 days a year,” said Luc Rabouin, leader of Projet Montréal.
A city on a human scale, all year round
Under Projet Montréal administrations, the City has made road safety one of the pillars of its vision for a city on a human scale. In recent years, hundreds of intersections and streets have been calmed, school zones have been made safer, and speed limits have been reduced in several boroughs.
Luc Rabouin is committed to continuing this momentum by making the safety of Montrealers a top priority, with school zones, speed cameras in school zones, and traffic calming measures in neighborhoods.
Safety must be the top priority in the development of the city and its neighborhoods, according to the leader of Projet Montréal.
Moving forward, not backward
Two days before the election, Projet Montréal leader Luc Rabouin reiterated that road safety is part of a broader choice for the future of Montreal. He emphasized that on November 2, Montrealers will have to decide whether they want to move forward with a team of committed citizens with clear positions on greater street safety and making affordable housing a requirement, or move backward with teams that want to slow down this progress.
For Projet Montréal, change should not be a right turn or a step backward. Projet Montréal is proposing a new approach, a renewed way of moving the city forward, on a human scale and in collaboration with the population.
