Ça sent l’incompétence à plein nez. Les gens iront rouler sur Saint-Patrick et mettront leur vie en danger, tout ça parce que Parcs Canada est incapable de communiquer avec la communauté et de prévoir l’impact de ces fermetures à l’avance.
Speaking of the Turcot, Greene Avenue below Dorchester reopened to pedestrians, according to something I read. It added that there may be a future need for temporary closure. No word on when traffic will be allowed in that block, it just mentioned pedestrians.
It seems as though almost every street in NDG is being repaved this summer, and some are getting their sidewalks and water mains redone too. The apparently random detours that change day by day are a great way to discover new little neighbourhoods. Also to be late for wherever you’re going.
There’s still a sign up on Cavendish that says work will run until June… Both walking and driving along it is tricky and has been for months. And everything Tim S. and dwgs said. The sidewalk work is baffling because I don’t recall very many being in bad shape (except in front of the library, which is still not being fixed). But I imagine it’s preventative work, something that most Montrealers haven’t seen in decades.

That’s not so much a detour as a “just go somewhere else”. Completely useless for people that are actually trying to get somewhere…

Argh, I used to love living in the area. But now it’s just construction on top of construction.
Turcot, bike paths, buildings in Griffintown.
I’m for progress, but this is just too much at once.

Come to NDG. It’s like the whole borough is being rebuilt.

Mark Côté, how do you mean? From the Turcot northward, or are there a lot of other sites?

They’re also working on St. Jacques in three places (and the bridge is closed again), Sherbrooke, Cavendish, Cote St Luc…
