On November 1, 2026, the family of a deceased pedestrian installed a commemorative plaque shaped like a pair of white sneakers in a parking lot near the intersection of Jarry and Langelier streets in the St‑Leonard borough of Montreal. The plaque honors the 89‑year‑old man who was killed in a vehicle‑pedestrian collision in May 2026 and is intended to raise awareness of pedestrian safety.
The installation serves both as a memorial for the victim and as a visual reminder to drivers and walkers about the importance of caution in shared urban spaces.
