I have to say that the new Mont-Royal metro is a huge improvement from the outside. Very light and open. They just need to plant more trees in the square outside.
@walkerp, the square you see now is temporary, and there’s a design process underway to create something permanent. It’s actually quite ambitious and will also include the parking lot behind the metro station.

Wow. Looks great. Will check it out later today.

This is great, though one more of these and we’ll officially have a “Projet Mtl is only interested in art to be consumed via drone” trend 😉

That whole space in front of the station looks swell now that the construction is done. I have to go down and see.

The street’s closed to traffic all summer, and it’s a great place for a saunter.

I’ll take this chance to promote the petition to make Wellington a pedestrian street year-round: https://lawellpietonne.com/en/

Right when the weather is like this I find myself running from tree to tree to find shade. Hopefully that’ll happen.

@dewolf, what parking lot are you referring to? There doesn’t seem to be such a parking lot…

I think he may mean the parking lot behind the Sanctuaire du St‑Sacrement just east of the station.
