What’s up down Peel Street? Cam shot just after 5 pm Wednesday.
I looked at the next camera, down at René, but there’s nothing going on there.
Update: At 18:45 (the camera time is an hour ahead) I see this down at René, but the Ste‑Catherine cam is now pointed away from the intersection. Still no indication what’s up:
The mayor announced the city’s plan to protect more of the golf d’Anjou as green space, also another east-end piece of land called the Boisé‑Jean‑Milot, north of the Repos St‑François‑d’Assise, in an odd little triangle of land wedged between Anjou, St‑Léonard and Hochelaga-Maisonneuve.
Metro notes that the mayor of Anjou wanted that golf course land for industrial development, an intention that was in the air during the Coderre era.
Well, Mayor Miranda did manage to get a huge chunk of green space from the southern end of the Golf Métropolitain Anjou sold to Costco. That was supposed to be part of the eastern park:

About the boisé Jean-Milot, it’s a nice little bit of green space with some walking paths, though it could stand to have some protection. Some unscrupulous folks used to dump their renovation refuse there in the past. Also, I would say it’s north of parc Felix-Leclerc more than it is north of the cemetery.
True. I don’t know the area well at all except for the Repos. I’ve never wallked through that park, maybe I’ll have a look this summer.
A 16-year-old has been charged with murder in the second degree in the stabbing death of Lucas Gaudet last week in Pointe Claire.
The coroner’s report on the death of Pierre Coriolan in June 2017 is finally out. Luc Malouin criticizes the lack of police training in responding to incidents involving mental health crises. The entire encounter between Coriolan and the police took no more than 5 minutes.
So, 48 hours of terrible weather will start Wednesday evening as things rapidly warm up. Rain on Thursday will be followed by another dip in temperatures with freezing rain then snow ensuing through the weekend.
Sorry about reporting weather but there’s very little other new Montreal news Wednesday morning.

I noticed a LOT of police all around town today. Don’t know what’s going on, but they were everywhere!
