Thank you Projet Montréal, it’s really so much kindness.
I crush a teardrop.
In this crow storm on Thursday, April 4, the sidewalks were impassable.
As usual for pedestrians, it was better to take the cycle paths.
Always perfect, the cycle paths, scraped down to the asphalt.
We see ourselves in it like in a mirror.
Capricious, I wasn’t very tempted to take out my becique in the storm.
What am I complaining about?
I could have taken a nice Bixi!
Madame Plante leaves them to us for the winter.
I love the Bixi, but what do you expect, freezing on a bike when it’s snowing hard is not my idea of happiness.
No, I just wanted to walk to the metro station. An obstacle course…
Finally, Montreal is thinking of citizens who just want to walk from point A to point B in the winter season without breaking their sweat! What more?
A big headache on the sidewalks!
We are told again ad nauseam: Montreal’s sidewalk network represents kilometers to cover, a colossal task!
But it is climate change and its temperature fluctuations that are the real problem!
Our snowy sidewalks which become icy…
A phenomenon which does not date from the birth of Greta Thunberg, it seems to me…
The price to pay
We will have to step over the snow banks!
We will only pick it up when all the sidewalks are clear.
According to a survey commissioned by the City, loading snow would not be THE priority.
Sure, let it melt!
What will citizens who suffer from functional limitations do?
They will step over the snowbank to get from the sidewalk to the adapted transport vehicle!
And the old people? They will do with it!
Another nice increase in our taxes with that?
Let’s see them boomerslive with the times!
Montreal is increasingly entering reflation mode.
