Nah this is actually in Verdun right by the hospital and auditorium 🙁 hope he pulls through.

You’re right. I forgot that Lasalle Boulevard is largely in Verdun. Thanks.

It’s a funny part of town. I have a friend who lives on First in Lasalle and she always has to be sure when giving directions people don’t get it confused with First in Verdun, which is inconveniently close. To make matters worse, Google maps has issues recognizing First in Lasalle – you can only enter it as 1re Av, Montréal, whereas First (or 1st) in both Lachine and Verdun can be entered in French or English. Ironically 1st in Verdun is a way more French area than 1st in Lasalle.

Right. And to add to my comment, Lasalle metro station is also in Verdun. In the far east end of it, too.
(In any other town we’d say that was the north end, but on the Montreal compass, it’s east.)
Ian, there are chunks of numbered streets elsewhere on the island, too. Rosemont, Montreal East, also Anjou, it seems to me. Must cause some confusion.

Not Anjou (that I know of), but RDP definitely has numbered streets.

There’s also a Fifth street in Pointe-Claire, with no other numbered streets in that area.

I had started, but never finished a series of articles on the numbered streets in Montreal. I think there are nine 1e rue/ave etc. on the island.
