A walk during Covid 19

Just wanting to get outside, and lacking a mercy delivery of essential medical needs. I started walking up the hill towards Mont Royal.  First passing the police station then going up the staircase at the end of the street.

Police Station

Staircase at end of street

Passing a selection of houses along the way....

One of the first plants to appear the spring are these little blue flowers in lawns by the road.

Above the houses are the Trafalgar  Apartments.

Something I never noticed before today is the wooden arbor located right beside the bus stop at the corner of The Boulevard and Côte-des-Neiges.

Then up another staircase, one last look along CDN and into the park.

Passing Beaver lake, some sculptures and Smith House.

The parking lot near Smith House was closed in order to discourage crowds in the park.

I thought of walking through Mont Royal cemetery to try to find  A.T. Lane's grave, but found that it is closed.

So I walked along Camillien Houde and looked at the cemetery and some ice on the rock cut.

The rock cut and road replaces a street car and tunnel that used to be here.

  Maybe they could put it back someday.

On the far side of the former tunnel, is a parking lot for cars to stop and look out over the eastern part of the city.  The parking lot of course is closed.

There is a footpath at the far end of the parking lot.  I've never been down that before!!!!  I wonder where it goes?

The path goes down to the Couvnet de Marie Reparatrice. I tried to find something about the building on Google but came up short.

It is only a short walk for there to the Louis Rubenstein Memorial Water fountain and Bixi stand.
