OMG: It's everything Old Montreal

[Old Montreal Guide @OldMtlGuide]

Now we need @MTL_Ville to demand that @spvm do its job and start enforcing traffic regulations around Place d’Armes.

Private citizens stepped up & used a ladder to go around & remove the covers to restore traffic flow.

The contractor will suffer no consequences. The City didn’t bother to ensure the detour was properly removed.

Citizens want a #citythatworks

Hey, @MTL_Ville how’s the campaign to enforce the ban on these sidewalk signs going? 🤔 🙄 @pinardvelo @SorayaMartinezF

[Old Montreal Guide @OldMtlGuide]

Why can’t @MTL_Ville clean off this vandalism at one of the busiest intersections in Old Montreal? Shameful defacing of a heritage building should be addressed quickly.

[Old Montreal Guide @OldMtlGuide]

Quick response by the @SPVM today to arrest a man wielding a utility knife on Notre Dame W. Officers also seized a baton and an axe. 🪓

[Old Montreal Guide @OldMtlGuide]

Place d’Armes remains the most vulnerable public square. It will take a terrorist attack with a vehicle before anyone acts. @SPVM

[John R Kennedy @JRK_Media]

When will @MTL_Ville @SorayaMartinezF @pinardvelo do something to stop cars from driving into the square? Is it going to take someone getting killed?

[Old Montreal Guide @OldMtlGuide]

Numerous reports that there is no parking enforcement by @agencemobi_mtl today in Old Montreal. An agent was seen ignoring numerous infractions near Place d’Armes. 🚨

[Old Montreal Guide @OldMtlGuide]

On this busy weekend it appears there is minimal parking enforcement by @agencemobi_mtl in Old Montreal. Getting reports of agents driving and walking past infractions. 🤷🏻‍♂️
@MTL_Ville
Good to see 2 @spvm officers enforce on Place d’Armes .

[Old Montreal Guide @OldMtlGuide]

On Saturday, several @SPVM officers watched car after car after car drive past two ⛔️ signs in Place d’Armes… and did absolutely nothing.

Why does @MTL_Ville post signs that drivers ignore and police don’t enforce? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Spotted in Old Montreal this morning: John Malkovich! 🤩 He’s in town to shoot the @PrimeVideo series #Bishop

[Old Montreal Guide @OldMtlGuide]

Shameful and disrespectful. @Nestle placed advertising all over Old Montreal sidewalks and public spaces today (which is illegal). Kudos to residents and business owners who removed them. @MTL_Ville needs to fine the company responsible.

[Old Montreal Guide @OldMtlGuide]

If you are concerned about inaction by @SPVM in Old Montreal and its refusal to enforce traffic regulations around Place d’Armes, share your thoughts at a public meeting on Monday at 6pm at 173 Place d’Youville. 🚔

[Old Montreal Guide @OldMtlGuide]

Truly disgraceful to see the @SPVM lie to the media about someone who has helped its officers for five years. The loss of the PCVM/OMCP will be felt this summer. Shame on the police.

Porto Mar restaurant in Old Montreal says the vet clinic next door is refusing to allow them to extend their “terrasse” in front of the clinic.

[Old Montreal Guide @OldMtlGuide]

Update: The OMCP ceased operations on Friday, citing troubling comments by senior @SPVM officers and a lack of action by @MTL_Ville @pinardvelo @SorayaMartinezF

This will have a tangible impact on the area around Place d’Armes this summer.

[Old Montreal Guide @OldMtlGuide]

Disappointed to learn that the Old Montreal Community Patrol may be ceasing operations on May 1st over inaction by @MTL_Ville and @SPVM

Old Montreal is in decline and this will only make things worse.

[Old Montreal Guide @OldMtlGuide]

Has Montreal’s health inspector paid a visit to the @McDonaldsCanada at 1 Notre Dame W recently? 🤔 The manager (who might be unstable) doesn’t seem to care (when he’s not standing outside smoking). 🍟

[Old Montreal Guide @OldMtlGuide]

There does not appear to be parking enforcement by @agencemobi_mtl in Old Montreal this afternoon. @MTL_Ville

[Old Montreal Guide @OldMtlGuide]

Ganadara at 29 Notre Dame W. has rebranded as Bap Bol. 🍲

[Old Montreal Guide @OldMtlGuide]

This driver ignored a “buses prohibited” sign at Saint Laurent and Saint Jacques to access Place d’Armes. @MTL_Ville needs to demand better vigilance by @SPVM as the busy tourist season ramps up. 🚨

[Old Montreal Guide @OldMtlGuide]

Getting multiple reports that there is very limited @agencemobi_mtl parking enforcement in Old Montreal this afternoon. At approx. 2pm, an agent was seen driving past three infractions at Saint Sulpice and Notre Dame W.
