    The inspector general having cast opprobrium on the contract with Pomerleau to manage the construction of the big new bus garage on Bellechasse, the mayor says the city has nothing to apologize for. The Journal makes it clearer that the issue is that Pomerleau may have tailored a bid a llttle too much in its own favour.

      A woman undertook to walk along every street in Montreal and it took her five years. I was expecting she’d done a book or a photo blog or something, but there’s no mention of any product from the exercise.

        I did find a photo blog https://purpleroads.weebly.com/ and there’s a photo of the map!

        I started trying to bike as much of Montreal as possible early in the 2020 shutdown. I’m almost 20% of the way there, but I don’t have anything beyond a digital map, and maybe a few photos. For me it’s more to be able to say I’ve done it, and discover interesting areas that I wouldn’t otherwise go to.

        Although if I was walking I would take more photos!

        8/3/2021 – After about two years forced hiatus from my walking project, thanks to Mr. Covid and incidentally getting hit by a truck and ending up in the ER on one of my walks, I’m back to criss-crossing the streets of Montreal.

        Woah! Also I really enjoyed the blog!

      The mayor has announced plans for a forum on youth violence in response to the murders of several teenagers over the last year.
