Description
Notice the Solar Panels on the roof of this massive structure. Very modern and economically friendly. Too bad that this building couldn't have been used for something else.

  this building got a lot of compliments at its construction time, the government was investing in a dead area the panel on the roof ETC but in typical govnt fashion they consolidated sorting in st laurent and this place became less and less used.

  this is very strange because, yea, they sure made a big deal about how cutting edge this place was when it opened, gateway to the future and all that.

  hey the lights on the turcot interchange were the way of the future too, they lasted what 5 years

  LOL, ah, progress.

As we used to say on the CPR, "well, duh, look who's in charge!"

  charlie, do you remember those lights on the interchange? the ones in the guardrails? it was like "oops did we forget to factor in snowbanks"

  so they added lamposts right after, the guardrails hung around for a while though sans lights

  But this place does remind me of how nice the bike path was in those days. it s been too crowded for the last 10 years at least.

  I remember riding along the Lachine Canal as well around that same time, and going through those bike tunnels below the streets and the Charlevoix bridge where you could look down below your feet into the water.
