The city has plans for spiffing up Lafontaine Park including reopening the Théâtre de la Verdure. There had been a plan during the Coderre administration to massively develop the theatre space, but it went nowhere, so it still needs some renovation and repair.
The item says the park will become the city’s Jardin du Luxembourg. I haven’t been to that park, can anyone give me their impressions of it? It seems like hyperbole, given that our park does not encircle an ornate palace…

Tony Accurso has been acquitted of bribing late Mascouche mayor Richard Marcotte. Accurso gave Marcotte thousands of bucks and took him along on yacht trips, but I guess they were just good pals.

Some store owners on Ste-Catherine are, predictably, not happy with the roadwork site, saying the city is not doing enough to offset the effects it has on business. Maybe there’s some truth to this, but there’s little the city can do to cajole people into strolling in an area which has become difficult or unpleasant to navigate on foot, especially in winter.
CJAD reports that one of the businesses on Bishop where a long dig for STM ventilation has years yet to go has closed up shop and moved, also citing the city’s unwillingness to act – in this case, because although it now has programs to lighten the tax burden where it’s digging, it doesn’t apply to work being done by anyone else, including the STM.
