Montreal, Canada
Potholeville-sur-Fleuve
"Construction cones are our official flower"
Official Coat of Arms
A shield bearing a crossed jackhammer and bagel over a river of orange construction pylons, surmounted by a metro shuttle bus in place of a crown, with the motto ribbon perpetually under scaffolding.
TripAdvisor Review
★★★★☆ 4/5
"Beautiful old buildings in Old Montreal and the bagels genuinely changed my life, but I lost my rental car's alignment to a pothole on Rene-Levesque that has apparently been under 'temporary' repair since 2016. Nightlife on St-Laurent is fantastic if you enjoy being woken up by construction jackhammers at 7am the next day. The metro is efficient except for the six months a year it's replaced by shuttle buses due to 'planned work'. Still coming back for the smoked meat though."— Gerald Suspensionfund, Mississauga
Property Listing
Charming character property mere steps from a 'temporarily' closed metro entrance, offering front-row seats to the timeless symphony of jackhammers and detour signage! Enjoy authentic old-world plumbing and a driveway pothole so deep it comes with its own microclimate.
Twinned With
Naples — Both cities treat orange traffic cones as a permanent architectural feature rather than a temporary inconvenience.
Supporting Evidence
Montreal has been called the 'orange cone capital of North America' due to the sheer volume of ongoing road and infrastructure construction, some projects lasting so long locals joke the cones have squatters' rights.
