Little Italy restaurant owner's dreams of a terrasse take surprising turn
Primo & Secundo restaurant in Little Italy may soon have a terrasse after years of efforts by the owner to get one. (Matt Grillo/CTV News) A restaurant owner in Montreal's Little Italy wanted to open a terrasse and after years of trying to get approval, he is finally seeing progress. Primo & Secundo owner Roberto Stabile eventually contacted CTV News due to his frustration at not being able to have his dream of a terrasse for the summer. 'June, July, August we taper off,' he said. 'Sales are down, [and] that's just because people enjoy eating on terrasses and we don't have one.' After CTV News contacted the City of Montreal on Thursday, there was progress. 'Our people are there. They are taking measurements, looking at the technical issues. We are looking forward to close the alley,' said Rosemont--La Petite-Patrie borough mayor Francois Limoges. Stabile's restaurant is located next to an alley and adjacent to a fire station, and the borough needs approval from the fire department before closing the alley. However, the news sounds promising. 'We believe in restaurants, nice streets, terrasses,' said Limoges. 'We're making everything to make people happy, and that's what we're doing today.' With approval, Stabile would finally be able to set up a terrasse right next to his restaurant. And in a neighbourhood where many restaurants already have one, it can make a big difference. 'For us it can mean going under water or keeping your head above water,' said Stabile.

St. Vital residents call for more stop signs on busy road to curb speeders
A car drives on Des Meurons Street in Winnipeg, Man. on June 19, 2025. (Jamie Dowsett/CTV News Winnipeg) A Winnipeg city councillor is calling for a traffic study on a busy St. Vital roadway due to a rise in speeding. A motion submitted to the Riel Community Committee by Coun. Brian Mayes (St. Vital) calls for a traffic study of Des Meurons Street between Regal and Blenheim avenues. According to the motion, residents have noticed an increase in speeding, with vehicles sometimes travelling as fast as 60 to 70 km/h. The current speed limit is 50 km/h, except in posted school zones. Mayes said residents want additional stop signs to slow traffic for kids heading to school, the playground or the outdoor pool. The motion calls for the city's public service to study the road's traffic patterns, speed compliance, safety risks and the impact of additional stop signs. If recommended, the motion would then have to get the green light from the city's standing policy committee on public works, which would then direct the public service to carry out the study. The motion will be considered at a June 25 meeting.
