Montreal COVID-19 Active Travel Corridors as of May 2020

Health corridors archives from the Montreal agglomeration document public space redesigns for active travel during the COVID-19 pandemic. The dataset locates established health corridors and planned active routes as reported by boroughs and linked cities. It represents a snapshot of announced plans as of May 21, 2020.

Use Cases

• Map the spatial distribution of established health corridors to analyze pedestrian infrastructure density.
• Compare planned active routes against established corridors to assess implementation progress.
• Use the corridor geometries to model pedestrian network connectivity during the pandemic.

Strengths

• Data provides a specific temporal snapshot of urban planning during the COVID-19 crisis as of May 21, 2020.
• Contains spatial data in multiple GIS formats (SHP, GEOJSON) for mapping and analysis.
• Originates from official municipal sources within the Montreal agglomeration.

Limitations

• Data is a static snapshot from May 2020 and does not reflect subsequent on-ground changes.
• Lacks tabular column details, limiting quantitative analysis beyond spatial features.
• Scope is limited to the Montreal agglomeration, not representative of other cities.
