Montreal's most disappointing intersections

Busy Decarie and Sherbrooke comes up lacking

 Urban intersections are the most important part of any city's landscape.
  Street corners need to be four-pointed joyous monuments of glory. They must uplift an area.
  Why do intersections need to be sparkling examples of the best an area has to offer?
  Because intersections are where the action happens.
  Motorists, cyclists and pedestrians all are at their most alert approaching corners... bus stops are usually placed at street corners, which means people stand there...pedestrians pass each other crossing the street at corners ...motorists, pedestrians and cyclists linger and stare and drink in the surroundings while waiting for a red light to turn green at street corners.
  In fact our entire geographical orientation hinges on intersections, as we all describe places as being near the corner of one thing and another thing.
   A disappointing intersection that doesn't pull its weight in pleasantness or interestingness is a major problem, as the blight is magnified and taints an entire neighbourhood. (Okay, okay, you made your point - Chimples)
    Perhaps the best example of this is the corner of Decarie and Sherbrooke, where three of the four corners contain structures that look like they should be somewhere in Shawinigan North.

• Proof that the east side of Montreal has way too many gas stations 
• The once-glorious corner of Atwater and Notre Dame 

   At the southeast corner sits a mufugly little box of a building that houses a tiny Kentucky Fried Chicken outlet, complete with an awful sign-on-a-pole. Most of the property is devoted to parking. The blight is as awful as the chicken and fries are terrible. It has to go. Soon, preferably.
    Two of the other corners, to the north and to the west, house gas stations.
   One is an old fashioned oily-rag mom-and-pop affair while the one at the southwest corner is one of those modern places common in spots like Vaudreuil with a big convenience store inside selling giant beers and sugar drinks for $5 a bottle.
  Do we really need two gas stations at that corner? Me thinks not.
  In contrast, the adjacent properties include some great looking and historic properties.

Church and Champliain 

   Three lousy properties: that's all it takes to create an awfulness that oppresses the beauty of an entire area.

   Verdun good and bad 

   Verdun saw a decent transformation of one disastrous corner in recent years, as a gas station owner who owned three of the four properties at Bannantyne and 6th replaced two gas stations and an ugly parking space with condos. It's a nice corner now.
   However Verdun is also home to the tragicomedy of Church and Champlain which contains two sprawling gas stations, one car repair shop and a chintzy little build-in-a-day commercial building. It's a major disappointment as a gateway to Verdun.
   Undoubtedly there are countless other examples of intersections that fail to pull their weight.
   Coolopolis says Montreal and other cities have to start rethinking street corners as places where beauty, charm, enchantment must thrive. Rig the laws to make this happen.
