Work has been commenced on improvements to Bonaventure station, Montréal. The wooden sidewalk at the eastern front is to be replaced by asphalt. In front of the station a fountain will be erected, & at either end of the rectangle a grass plot will be laid down & flowers planted, while the entrance & exit for vehicular traffic will be regulated by the placing of stone posts at each end. The canopy that at present runs the length of the building & extends over the sidewalk will be extended out another 15 ft., so as to afford protection against the weather to passengers entering or leaving cabs or buses. Some important structural changes are also to be made to the station building, which will, it is said, include the removal of the second-class waiting-room & closets. The changes, when carried out, will enable the I.C.R. officials, who are at present inadequately housed in a room belonging to the Customs Department at the station, to take up quarters of a more commodious character. Arrangements will be made for their occupying two large rooms, one of which will be utilized as an office & the other for the stores of the parlor, sleeping & dining cars.
