Montreal Geography Trivia No. 26

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.

    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.)
