Wow, this 15-meter segment is still in repair.
50 days already!
Who cares about the public interest?
The problem is obviously there.
People on the top always list the restrictions they face. Hey, in any business if you fail like this with many excuses, good luck!
They have been working on this pit for more than 10 days and on a sunny Sunday today no one is working on the project. Nearby they dug up St-Catherine street for months and no one is working on it. The business and people are severely impacted by the closure. Nobody is hurrying up to finish the construction.
It’s not any individual’s problem it’s the management issue, mindset issue, people on top just don’t give a shit about the public interest. This is the future of this great city of Montreal. Greedy and incapable people are sucking the milk of the weakening body of the collective wealth!
Journalists should hold those powerful people accountable on behalf of the people and that’s your job.
On TV or news feeds you should flood the audience with questions about potholes and endless digging up of the same streets over and over again.
Raising the awareness of major issues should be the responsibility of the media.
People should be fed up with the nonsense of these things!
Who can help?

Money is not the issue. The problem here is the attitude, ethics, professionalism, sense of responsibility, sense of urgency. People in charge usually don’t care too much about the public money because it’s not theirs. If you look at the private buildings they are built very fast and with great quality because the owner of the money cares about their money. In public fields that’s NOT the case. Am I too honest or silly?
SpaceX could ask some construction companies in Australia to build a make-shift barge boat. Simple to assemble on the spot, may not need propellers at all. They may engineer some sails powered by solar panels and automatically controlled remotely using starlink.
This way they can have the Starship land on it and inspect it fully before they try to land on the launch pad. If they can secure the starship on the barge probably they can try to sail the barge back to Australia. If not they can find a way to dump it in the ocean after taking all the data from the starship.

Imagine being a restaurant in downtown Montreal!
During and after Covid, much less customers are choosing to dine-in.
Most people work from home, much less people come to downtown.
Same amount of restaurants who need certain amount of customers to survive.
More people are choosing delivery services and Ubereats charge 30 percent on sales.
Construction blocks big part of downtown makes delivery drivers spend twice the time to deliver which makes much less drivers available. And less people are willing to come to downtown for nights and weekends.
Bright side:
REM light rail is operational for most stations that will bring more people to downtown.
Montreal Canadiens are winning and more playoff games bring more fans to downtown.
F1 weekend is here.
Please list the rest of the challenges or advantages if you like.

Last night three F1 team members from UK came to my restaurant. Probably they work for the same team. Once they came in I asked are you guys from UK, they said yes. Then I asked are you coming for the F1 weekend. They said they are working for them and travel to everywhere in the world
A great news for people living in the West Island. Another great thing is that we won’t have potholes in the REM tracks! That’s very rare for Montreal!
Our old building at 1448 St-Mathieu, Montreal. Along the inside wooden panels there are these twelve brass name plates. Anybody knows what are these names and when the building was originally built? Looks like 100 years old.
