Viger Square reopens
ProposMontréal has tweeted some photos of the newly reopened Viger Square. I would have wished for a little more greenery and fewer cobblestones, but I guess the arrangement will be easier to maintain.

Apparently designers and architects did not receive the memo about the necessity of greenery and trees. Hot summers and all that, you know?

There are plenty of trees and green spaces in the new square, but the trees are saplings so it will be a few years before they provide any shade.
When I passed by on Friday afternoon, there were kids playing in the water features and lots of people sitting on the benches. There are also ping-pong tables underneath the original 1960s concrete features that seem very popular. There’s a little kiosk next to the fountains that looks like it will soon host a café.
It’s already much livelier than the previous version of the square.
