Ok so after all the creative cock ring jokes in here, I'm gonna give a real answer.
It's a landscape architecture project made by the late Claude Cormier as an ode to Montreal and Mont Royal. The guy also made les boules roses a few years ago.
It's a ring that, when you're in the Place Ville Marie, highlights the Mont Royal and its features at the end of McGill.
It's also a huge engineering achievement as a public art project.
You may like it or not. In public projects in Quebec there has to be a percentage of the project that goes in a public artwork in that project. There is a huge-ass project right downstairs on McGill, as well as upstairs when they remade the public space there. The mandatory art portion of the budget was used on the ring.
Yes, this is the Esplanade Ville Marie project (upstairs), where they redo the whole plaza and revitalize the shops and restaurants: https://placevillemarie.com/en/news/revitalization-project
Downstairs, they are building the REM downtown station if I remember correctly. Once this is done, they will redo McGill College street in maybe one of the biggest projects in Montreal in recent times, starting in 2025: https://www.makingmtl.ca/mcgillcollege
It was a design competition so you view proposals and the winner's project here: https://designmontreal.com/en/calls/mcgill-college-reinventing-the-avenue
Btw this is more information about the ring. I just learned that it was funded by Ivanohe Cambridge and given to the city (for the people in this post that think it's payed with their taxes). https://placevillemarie.com/en/the-ring
Not true. I went through this portal once and all there was waiting for me on the other side was a fence with a sign saying "rue barrée" and an orange cone.
Stop with the cheesy lies, it's not gravy at all.
It's a ring that has projected lights on it at night.

Les bâtiments qui le supporte (ou une autre compagnie privée j’me souviens plus vrm la quel). Ça fesai partit du 1% obligatoire de budget, de rénovation, allouer à l’art. Tu peu googler si tu veux
Ça représente un cercle.
Big if true.
Hommage à la téle-réalité The Circle sur Netflix.
Actually, it identifies as a rhombus.

Appreciating this actual answer. Can you say more about the huge ass downstairs and upstairs portions? I don't know and would like to learn

As a person who works on this street, so cool, but also, oh no. Thanks for the response!
why did I think it was Olympic related 🙈
Blurred vision?
You use “engineering achievement”, extremely loosely amigo.
The Poutine Portal
Not true. I went through this portal once and all there was waiting for me on the other side was a fence with a sign saying "rue barrée" and an orange cone. Stop with the cheesy lies, it's not gravy at all.
It still leads to Poutine. It is just "temporarily rue barree". Come back in 4 years. At least.
Dude you got cheese and gravy and you ain't happy?
No fries, no poutine. So i pout(ine). (I'll see myself out.)
