Montreal Green Alleys Map
How to use this tool
Navigate the interactive map to discover green alleys across Montreal. Filter by borough to find green alleys near your home. Each alley marker shows details about greening features such as permeable surfaces, planting beds, rain gardens, and community involvement. Green alleys are car-free or car-light shared spaces that have been converted from traditional paved alleys into green community corridors.
Why it matters
Montreal has over 475 green alleys, making it a leader in urban greening through community-driven projects. Green alleys reduce stormwater runoff, create wildlife corridors, lower urban heat island temperatures, and build neighbourhood social connections. For homeowners, living near a green alley can increase property values and provide inspiration for backyard and front yard landscaping projects using similar permeable surface and native planting techniques.
