Part of the canal wall was removed and replaced with a wetlands area, consisting of reeds mostly, and a few small trees growing. Birds like to stay here especially the red-winged black birds. Grass was starting to turn green, it was a lime-chartreuse colour made with bismuth yellow (PY184), yellow (PY154), green (PG36) and earth colours.

This big tree grows in a popular lounge spot near the Lachine canal, it must be near a hundred years old. All of the old iron utility poles were cut down by the city, they left just about 2 meters of each one standing as a memento perhaps. The structures had become unstable.

Where the footbridge crosses the canal, there is a roundabout to help bikes merge with the path, and to protect pedestrians. Arrows show you which direction to go. In the background is the canal, with PJD26 written on the wall.
