Notices
Mobility
Sports training is prohibited due to the reconfiguration of the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve during the resurfacing work: removal of the multi-purpose track and introduction of a two-way traffic. For a safe cohabitation, reduce your speed and follow the directions of the traffic signs.
The access ramp, that allows automobile traffic between the Concorde Bridge and Macdonald Road on Île Sainte-Hélène, will be demolished and rebuilt. Delays and detours to be expected, reduce your speed and follow the directions of the traffic signs.
Electric scooters
Parc Jean-Drapeau users will be able to take advantage of a new self-serve electric scooter rental service as part of a pilot project being done in collaboration with the City of Montréal. This initiative enables us to enhance our sustainable mobility offer on our site, along with providing greater accessibility to the Parc.
Bird Canada was chosen as the electric scooter promoter following a competitive bidding process. Some 200 scooters will be made available to Parc visitors, thereby allowing them to explore the islands through this safe, sustainable, practical and pleasant means of transportation.
