La Tulipe threatened with closure
Someone was mistakenly given a permit to convert a building next door to the La Tulipe show venue on Papineau into a residential space, and now this person is trying to shut it down with noise complaints.

How the hell is this a thing? Isn’t there a “they were they first” law in place?

In my short memory I recall the same incidents at MainHall & Greenroom, and then Divans Orange… how is it this can keep happening?

Maybe the bureaucrat who approved this conversion (how is that done in error?!?) is the same one who signed off on the Plaza St Hubert awnings. Either way, rest assured neither elected officials nor bureaucrats will be held accountable.

This is terrible. I hope something can be done to save it. I’m tired of this happening.

This is even more WTF than people buying next to a chicken rotisserie and then complaining about the smoke. HOW CAN YOU MISS LA TULIPE?
…athough the buildings on either side of La Tulipe both seem to be resiidential, so I’m not sure how that works. Is it just the ground floor that was non-residential?
Also, as stupid as this is, that doesn’t mean that showbars should have carte blanche to make as much noise as they want. Surely there’s some guidelines for what a reasonable sound level for a given space is (and surely there are some idiots who want to go way louder than that). But I suspect that’s not what’s going on here/ No. this is just good old fashioned stupid.

Le théâtre La Tulipe est là pour rester. La vitalité culturelle du Plateau est une richesse à préserver. Nous avons eu plusieurs échanges avec les propriétaires, et suivons de près les démarches judiciaires en cours entre les deux parties privées. Une solution émergera.

That’s funny-sounding apology from the Plateau mayor…
