\/><\/p>\n<p>Continuing our tour of Montreal&#8217;s 1i\u00e8re avenues, we find ourselves on\u00a0Lachine&#8217;s tiny &#8220;1 Avenue&#8221; (as the street sign indicates)\u00a0at the eastern-most end of the old city of Lachine (Ville St-Pierre now makes up the most eastern portion of the new borough of Lachine).\u00a0 This is the last set of photos from my daytrip around the south-west when I also visited <a href=\"https:\/\/spacing.ca\/montreal\/2008\/10\/18\/1iere-avenue-part-1-verdun\/\">Verdun<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/spacing.ca\/montreal\/2009\/02\/05\/1iere-avenue-part-2-lasalle\/\">Lasalle<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Numbered streets are very important\u00a0in Lachine as the entire borough (with the exception of Ville St-Pierre and the industrial portions) have numbered streets running vertically through it with every east-west street passing through one.\u00a0 The western border of Lachine is at 56e Avenue, the last numbered street before Dorval switches to named streets.<\/p>\n<p>Lachine&#8217;s 1e ave is a tiny street at\u00a0only 3 blocks in length\u00a0and, quite frankly, doesn&#8217;t have much going for it.\u00a0 The residential portions have a mix of housing types typical to Lachine with small plexes, post-war apartment buildings, and a new condo building, all in various states of repair.\u00a0 Mixed with the residential buildings are empty lots, a gas station and a a couple light industrial properties.\u00a0 As can be said for a great deal of borough, it&#8217;s not the prettiest street in the Montreal but it&#8217;s filled with Lachine&#8217;s unique charm\u00a0noted by\u00a0Christopher DeWolf\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/spacing.ca\/montreal\/2007\/10\/05\/a-saturday-stroll-in-lachine\/\">on his visit<\/a>\u00a0a year and a half ago.<\/p>\n<p>The street begins at Victoria terminating at a chain link fence of what looks like a junkyard.\u00a0 The bike path is part of a route that takes you into Ville St-Pierre and eventually connects to the path along the\u00a0Lachine Canal.<\/p>\n<p><img
