Here is what Montreal's returning mayor Valérie Plante promised during her campaign

Valérie Plante of Projet Montréal has been re-elected for a second term as mayor of Montreal, winning over voters with promises to improve the quality of life for Montrealers, tackle rising living costs, enhance public security and cut transit fare costs.

Here are some of the Projet Montréal key priorities that helped secure Plante's win: 

Public transit: Free for seniors, Metro expansions

• Plante committed to push for further Metro line expansions, including the Blue line extension and the Pink line, which was one of her signature promises in 2017.

• She plans to cut the cost of public transit in half for people aged 12 to 17 and make rides free for seniors. 

• Projet committed to adding 300 buses to the STM network and to making all public transit buses fully electric by 2025. 

Housing: 60,000 affordable housing units

• Plante promised to create 60,000 affordable housing units over 10 years, including 2,000 student housing units. 

• Her party said it would set up financial tools to allow the acquisition of affordable rental buildings by non-profits to create long-term housing and to get it out of real estate speculation. 

• Her party said it would also implement an "owner certificate" for landlords who own buildings of eight or more units, to protect tenants from renovictions and illegal rent increases. 

Public security: 250 officers, body cams

• Plante has promised to hire an additional 250 police officers by the end of 2022.

• Her party has pledged an extra $110 million to tackle gun violence and "ensure the safety of Montreal neighbourhoods," in addition to a $15 million emergency fund.

• It also promises to give $5 million to local community groups that work to prevent gun violence.

• Plante has said Montreal's police force will be outfitted with body cameras in 2022.

• The ÉMMIS pilot project, which sends social workers to respond to some 911 calls without police, is also promised to be expanded to all boroughs.

Easier life for Montrealers: More day camps, baby box program

• Plante committed to setting up a ninth week of day camps to provide more respite for parents and more activities for children.

• Her party pledged to introduce a free "baby box" program for Montreal newborns so that every baby in the city has an equal chance at birth.

• Plante promised to make equal opportunities for all Montrealers a guiding principle in the prioritization of services, infrastructure and the creation of green spaces.

• Plante said she would also offer a tax break to homeowners whose property's municipal evaluation is under $500,000.

Bike paths: More cycling infrastructure

• Plante's party said it would build more cycling infrastructure, including expanding the Réseau express vélo (REV).

• It also promised more bicycle parking and a program to subsidize the cost of family bikes, electric bikes or bikes adapted to those with mobility issues.

Reviving downtown: 24/7 construction, bars open later

• Plante has promised to extend operating hours for restaurants and bars in certain areas of the downtown core and to introduce free evening and weekend parking for the holiday season.

• Her party has said it would also designate zones where construction work could happen 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to speed up the process.

• Projet also committed to converting some office buildings into residential properties.
