US cities should just copy everything Montreal is doing. Especially what they do with summer festivals! Close off the entire parkway to car traffic for free festivals all summer.

Montreal just copied the Chicago playbook, including on summer festivals.

They’re both good! I grew up in Chicago and while I enjoyed Taste of Chicago and the Air and Water Show, there’s a different vibe to Montreal’s festivals. Also what Montreal’s done with making outdoor dining (known as terrasses there) a part of their culture along with transforming their streets to be far less car oriented are things Chicago hasn’t done as much that we should do here in Philly.
