You’d think this would be the sort of project the City government would approve of and support. But no.
Suddenly this morning — without any consultation with the residents of the block — the City sent in a crew and hauled it all away as trash — the planters, the art, the decorations — for no sensible reason.
CBC News is on the story:

It’s a very sad day for the Plateau neighbourhood, and for the Montreal Burning Man community.
