Valerie Plante has to go

They might as well have built this horrible building in the heart of Old Montreal.  

Horrid architecture.  I can't believe the city approved it.  

Ste-Catherine (Le nouveau look).

Welcome to Old Montréal

This is kitty-corner from Olives & Gourmando.

St-Pierre between St-Paul & Place d'Youville.

The grease accumulation and continuous garbage dump that is maintained by Le Butterfly restaurant.

Really disgusting to have our city be represented this way.  

Can we start a section where we shame businesses and property owners - not to mention the City - perhaps our voices could make a change.

What is truly sad - is that this is becoming more and more common in Old Montreal - and throughout the city.  

Paving the street would help

Cause perdu

Montreal is burning.

REM : l’échéancier de nouveau reporté

Étouffant 

Gorgeous

Another lacklustre bldg at the entrance of Montreal.  Something that would be nothing more than filler in any other city.

Ville de design mon œil 

Oy

If only they had the intelligence to create such a dynamic architectural statement to increase the value of their own real estate...  alas, this is Montreal cheapette

Check out the diversity and ingenuous designs of New York’s street terraces….

Bloc communiste 

This is so ugly

Reminds me of the worst building in old Montreal, on the far east side of Notre Dame 

I like the simplicity

However, this is too easy... Montreal’s Cockring

Let's crumple a piece of paper and recreate it with glass and steel.   The worst example of "Look At Me" architecture.  There is such a beautiful variety of buildings on Paper Hill.  This thing misses.

Move the Bonaventure Highway to the other side of the current buildings (These should be replaced with mix-use and housing).

Move greenspace along the waterfront.  It's not complicated - they can continue the Old Port style of lighting for a boardwalk.

The FEDS need to get out of the Downtown/Old Port sector.  They can start re-doing Notre-Dame street in the East.  What a nightmare to drive through - what an eyesore for tourists and residents.  This is a great development - however, I'd go Tall - here's a place where there should be no height limit.  Connected to the REM.  The 'passerelles' to Cité du Havre and to the islands is something I suggested years ago at a city assembly.   I'm happy to see this.

Looks like a QR code

Maybe they can paint it blue to match the highway leading from the airport

I’ve been admiring the HEC project from afar.  However, today, for the first time, I walked along de la Gsuchetiere.  I find that the building is just very confusing for they eye given the space to take it all in, and unfortunately it diminishes the Cathedral’s weight and height.  This project should not be fighting for attention.  It should complement the diversity of what was Paper Hill.  It is very cold and too angular in my opinion,  trying too much.

It would make a great Gondola station to go across to the islands

Rue St-Pierre south of Place d’Youville to de la Commune should be green and pedestrian.

what a wasted space for so few cars.
