These depressing images were taken today, several years after we first noted - and complained to police - about the obvious rash of car break-ins on the bridge on Notre Dame just east of Berri.
Housing units now overlook the site but the eyes-on-the-roadside apparently has done nothing to slow down these thefts.
While I was taking the photo, a woman doing some sort of construction task looked over and told me that she herself had been victimized by car burglars at this very spot.
The stretch where it seems to happen most is reserved for local residents, so it would appear to be their problem more than anybody else's.
We have proposed that the bridge be demolished and the road simply drop down to ground level but it's still a helluva great place for free parking during the day.
Thanks for the heads-up. This is where I park when I go to Old Montreal. Not the reserved sections, but there are many non- metered spots as well.
