Dequindre Cut
A roughly 3 km greenway built in a sunken railway cut, lined with graffiti, linking the riverfront with the Eastern Market.
The Dequindre Cut was converted from the sunken rail bed of the Grand Trunk line. It lies about 8 m below street level and runs about 3 km, with separate walking and cycling paths. Pillars and retaining walls along the way are covered with street graffiti and murals, making it a popular photo spot. Its south end connects to the riverfront walkway, and its north end leads to the Eastern Market, making it the most pleasant cycling route between the two attractions. Saturday market days are crowded, and walking alone at night is not recommended.
