I disagree with this Allison Hanes column saying the Plante administration shouldn’t make changes in plans the Coderre party made for Ste-Catherine Street. The sewers and water mains do have to be redone: they’re ancient, and that work should proceed. But the foofy stuff, the heated sidewalks, the inflatable tunnel shelter thing, they’re dispensable.
Ste-Catherine Street isn’t broken, but a four-year worksite could put it at risk. Far better to speed up the necessary infrastructure work and get it over with than to keep the worksite open a long time to add unnecessary frills and fuss.

A young man died Monday evening when the car he was driving collided with a truck being used for snow removal. TVA link plays video.

At the new CHUM it costs long-term patients $289 per month to have a TV, and in theory they would pay almost $400 to have internet service as well, but that’s not available yet. Charges at other hospitals are listed (much lower) but the MUHC rate is not mentioned.
At the same time, in the Journal, QMI also notes that TV is supposed to be free for palliative care patients – but it’s not available yet either.

The STM may be getting 300 new buses, but there isn’t yet the garage space for them anywhere in the system.
