Here’s one I’m not 100% sure on the answer to. So any prizes granted will be conditional on someone not finding a better answer.
What are the shortest and longest complete street names in Montreal (excluding numbered streets)?
By “complete,” I mean including identifiers such as “rue” “avenue” or “boulevard”. For the purposes of this exercise, the French names only will be used.
UPDATE: So far the best guesses are:
Shortest: Rue Ann, Rue Guy, Rue Roy
Longest: Rue du Square Sir-George-Étienne-Cartier
Can anyone top that?

That Maggy Burgess seemed like an awfully long street name, should just be called Liverpool, as it is on the other wide of W-ton.
Shortest : Rue Holt
Longest : Chemin de la Côte-Sainte-Catherine
Correction :
Shortest Name : Rue Ann
Longest name : Chemin de la Côte-Sainte-Catherine
My guesses:
rue Guy
chemin de la Cote-Sainte-Catherine
These aren’t verified so someone may still come up with a better answer
For shortest, I’m going to say Rue Guy (6 letters)
For longest, I’m going to say Boulevard de la Rivière-des-Prairies up in RDP.
(33 letters excluding spaces, including hyphens)
these are strong contenders:
Rue Roy (7)
Rue du Square Sir-George-Étienne-Cartier (40)
(The city of Montreal uses that name; google maps removes the “Rue du” part.

I’ll say Gouin as the longest
Bérubé (get it BruB) on the Plateau as the shortest.

boulevard de Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue is probably longer :)
rue du Square-Sir-George-Étienne-Cartier!
Add rue Oak and rue Elm to the shortest list
Damn, I think I lost it in the translation longest NAME not longest street. Excusez mon anglais :)
