The city bylaw mandates specific sizes for spaces, the amount of shrubbery or green space that parking lot owners are required to provide. Parking lots must be paved, but you wouldn't know it by looking at this Molson employee lot. .
My survey showed that not a single parking lot followed the rules.I would imagine this is still the case today.
When I asked a city bureaucrat why the lots were allowed to flout the rules I was told that it's too hard to fine them, as owners can switch names under a shell of numbered companies and avoid punishment.
The big unpaved, muddy employee parking lot for Molson workers on Papineau is clearly a major blight on the neighbourhood outside of its HQ on Notre Dame.
This won't stop me from drinking Molson products because I've been a Labatt guy ever since Molson failed to step up to support the Montreal Expos.
Did Labatt step up?
ReplyDeleteYeah Labatt was a big sponsor in the later years, Molson took the obvious route, choosing hockey instead, makes me almost glad to see the Habs flounder.
ReplyDeleteShame as well on Jean Coutu and Andre Chagnon...Guy Laliberte...Laurent Beaudoin...lots of multi-millionaires who have sat on their fortunes awaiting their deaths, or flushing dollars down the sewer in search of Brazilian sluts, rather than invest in the passion that is baseball and giving something meaningful back to their city
