J’ai toujours \u00e9t\u00e9 fascin\u00e9 par ces trous et ces interstices dans la trame urbaine qui surgissent un peu partout dans la ville et qu’on d\u00e9limite\u00a0souvent par\u00a0quelques blocs de b\u00e9ton (comme dans le cas pr\u00e9sent),\u00a0ou qu’on transforme en\u00a0petits parcs (comme fr\u00e9quemment dans le Village)\u00a0ou alors qui deviennent partie int\u00e9grante du paysage urbain (comme ces stations-services qui ont ferm\u00e9es au d\u00e9but des ann\u00e9es 90 et qui ont laiss\u00e9 derri\u00e8re elles des terrains\u00a0couverts de gravier qui sont rest\u00e9s vagues pendant une d\u00e9cennie)\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Celui-ci est particuli\u00e8rement intriguant parce qu’il se situe \u00e0 moins de\u00a0400 m\u00e8tres de l’H\u00f4tel de Ville, parce qu’il est entour\u00e9 de condos de luxe,\u00a0parce qu’on y trouve du bois de chauffage, des matelas, des pneus, des vieux tapis et d’autres objets h\u00e9t\u00e9roclites et surtout parce que personne ne le remarque plus. Ce trou, je l’aime parce qu’il me rappelle que nous, les Montr\u00e9alais, nous tol\u00e9rons l’incongru, que nous permettons la coexistence de choses contradictoires\u00a0et peut-\u00eatre aussi parce que \u00e7a me rassure de penser qu’il y a encore des espaces “vides” en ville habit\u00e9s par autres choses que des automobiles.<\/p>\n

Pourtant, les trous sont une esp\u00e8ce menac\u00e9e \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al… nous les remplissons un \u00e0 un par des projets de\u00a0condos abordables ou des lofts luxueux, selon le cas. Je sais que c’est en fait une bonne nouvelle – nous densifions pour mieux habiter la ville et pour continuer de\u00a0faire battre le vieux coeur essoufl\u00e9 de la cit\u00e9. Mais j’aurai quand m\u00eame un pincement de coeur quand ce trou sera combl\u00e9. Ce n’est pas ma faute: j’ai grandi dans une ville trou\u00e9e,\u00a0et c’est\u00a0difficile pour moi d’imaginer une ville sans trous.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
