Villeray and Petite-Patrie neighborhoods

Louis-Philippe Ogé creates a project in the neighborhoods adjacent to the Jean-Talon Market. The artist presents Les fruits de poteaux, a series of interventions in two parts: the production and marketing on a small scale of a system of public trolleys.

Dear neighbors,

it is with great pleasure that I announce the release of the FRUITS DE POTEAU. Four caddies has been installed at four separate intersections in Villeray neighborhoods and Little Italy and will be waiting for you to accompany you in your shopping.

SMALL REMINDER OF THE PROCEDURES TO TAKE TO ENSURE THE GOOD CIRCULATION OF SHARING CADDIES.

1) Always report the caddy used at its regular intersection.

2) The intersections assigned to the parking of caddies will always offer 3 poles of attachment. If the starting post of a caddy is picked up by a bike during a use, you can always count, on his return, on at least one nearby pole. The latter, located at the same intersection should simply be free and provided with an anchor, to allow the attachment of the FRUIT DE POTEAU.

3) Be sure to padlock the caddy after use, placing it upside down with the wheels in the air.

4) Caddies are equipped with a padlocked chain. If you cannot enter a point of sale or service with one; it can wait for you, chained to a fence, a pole, a fixed bicycle rack. FOR ITS SAFETY, THIS MODE OF ATTACHMENT MUST BE TEMPORARY.


THE FRUITS DE POTEAU ARE WAITING FOR YOU AT THE FOLLOWING INTERSECTIONS:

• "DROLET", all white, at the corner of ST-ZOTIQUE and HENRI-JULIEN. Its anchor posts are on the north-east, north-west or south-east sides.

• "SHAMROCK", dressed in blue, at the corner of BÉLANGER and ALMA. Its anchor posts are on the Northeast, Northwest or Southwest sides.

• "HENRI-JULIEN / CASTELNAU", all dressed in yellow, at the corner of HENRI-JULIEN and CASTELNAU. Its anchors are on the north-west, south-east or south-west sides.

• "VILLERAY", all in orange, at the corner of VILLERAY and HENRI-JULIEN. Its anchor posts are on the south-west sides or on 2 separate feet, northwest side.

Looking forward to having you fill the small belly of a shopping cart near you.
