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.

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.
