I wasn’t planning on going anywhere so ignored this. Then I got a last-minute invite to the South Shore. I drove through town to the Victoria, my preferred piece of 19th C engineering, only to find at the last minute it was closed. The detour signs took me towards the Champlain, but via the closed Bonaventure. After 10 minutes of wandering around the area between Griffintown and the Bickerdike, I eventually figured out that the way off the island, paradoxically, was to follow the detour signs for Montreal (I think they were diverting people via the Turcot, but am not sure).
All this to say, thanks for posting these links Kate, and shame on me for not studying them more closely.
