City plans sponge street in Ville-Marie
The city is planning a sponge street for eastern Ville-Marie. The name of the street? Larivière.
Editing to add an admiring story about Montreal’s sponge parks from an American site on urban matters.

Perfect. This will be a great boost to the Fengshui of the neighborhood, when you look at the sponge street (wetland) together with its adjacent park (which includes a children’s playground and a dog park), soccer turf, basketball court, the school, and also the cat building on Parthenais.
the adjective “great” is used here because of the beautiful harmony in its form and name, as Kate already indicated.
It’ll be even “greater” if the name of the street wasn’t a factor when the municipality chose this location. The mystical power of kismet.
