a map showing all the bike share stations that span most of the west-east axis of the city, all of downtown, and part of the north of the suburbs.

Québec city's bike share system, "ÀVélo", comes back on April 15th, until November 15th. We will have 22 stations and 2 300 e-bikes (!) to rent all over the city. The expansion in the western and northern suburbs (dark blue dots) will connect a whole new portion of the population.

Turns out that basing our economic system around oversized personal transportation vehicles aka SUVs (legal definition: light trucks) that require $100+ every week in gas isn't the best way to run an economy for the benefit of the citizens & businesses that aren't gas stations or car dealers.

The county (called MRC in Quebec bc Quebec gov't loves complicating things) has a tourism map, which is in the tourism brochure & on large maps on outdoor tourism kiosks, decided to delete ALL the small village names from the map.😜
So Dewittville & Rockburn definitely exist, but are not on the map.😖

Here's a thought:
In case you're thinking of visiting our neighbour, the beautiful state of Vermont, maybe wait until 2029 when the US government hopefully returns from barbaric police-state totalitarianism.
