This fountain in front of 904 Rue Saint-Urbain in Montreal is known as the "Fontaine des Lumières" (Fountain of Lights). The fountain incorporates elements of light, water, and sometimes sound to create an engaging and dynamic experience for visitors. It often features illuminated jets of water that dance and move in sync with music or other audiovisual elements.

In my belief system, a single step plus a handrail is a staircase.
I CHOOSE TO TRUST that it would not have been possible to preclude the necessity for these numerous handrails by smoothing out the step into a gentle slope.

Imagine that the windows' venetian blinds are raising and lowering to the rhythm of one of your favorite songs, as one or more street performers incorporate the handrailings into a dance.
