  1. Amazing huge news!!! The Caisse Infra devision officially announced the proposed train project for the island of Montreal and it's north and south shores. The project nicely integrates an airport light rail train. CDP Infra promotional Video http://www.montrealgazette.com/busin...20&filter=5611
  2. Amazing news. This is totally outside the scope of what I was thinking. Imagine the frequency when all the branches meet up. Now, THAT, will be service! A promotion video from the CDPQ Infra devision.
  3. Great news! This thread may be better suited in the YUL Airport sub-section of the forum...no?

    Not much news lately. Perhaps the calm before the storm? Here's some Thursday morning news about another potential investor. http://plus.lapresse.ca/screens/f8a12a65-59f1-4dc5-8903-d93276b14a5d%7CaQZuwoECBrE2.html

    J'étais a Fenway il y a trois ans et c'était un de mes meilleurs experiences de baseball dans ma vie. Simplement incroyable come parc!

    My friend who lives in Toronto told me that he heard tickets sales are passing 80,000. Does anyone have any update or news on the latest count? If it's anything like last year i'm sure they'll be a huge walkup.

    This could be a great solution and opportunity to integrate public transit into a new stadium proposal. If any of the sites south of downtown which we've talked about on this forum were considered, this LRT project could be a key factor. Whether it's in the location where Project Montreal proposed the stadium in place of the bonaventure, or near the costco on bridge, an LRT station could be integrated. It would provide a direct connection from the south shore, as well as a potential one-vehicle change for people coming from east, west and Laval. Would love to see this all work out with a stadium proposal! Hope CRO is seeing this!

    Here's Project Montreal's vision for the location for a new downtown ballpark... Personally, I LOVE IT! I can just imagine the spot, with a view of downtown, the old port, and the water of the peel basin. The area around the peel basin could be filled with terasses, resto-pubs, bars, not to mention the new developments we'll see arising as a result of the Griffintown projects. Access would be good with a quick university street connection to 720 east/west, and the champlain all within quick driving distance. The only problem I can see would be lack of public transit. Bergeron covers that with his intention to have tramways throughout the area and this will be a subject wich will have to be looked at seriously regardless with all the new residential development in the area; it's going to have to be connected to the network, somehow, efficiently. Not sure busses will cut it. We're a long long long way from this being close to happening, but it's more interest and steps towards having a team back then we've ever seen before. Here's to hoping this movement continues! http://blogs.montrealgazette.com/2010/01/13/projet-montreal-has-a-spot-reserved-for-expos-but-will-there-be-parking/

    Mitch Melnick (TSN 690) went on TSN 1050 in Toronto to talk about the campaign to Save TSN 690, and in the interview (link below) he got to talking about the Expos and how there's movement in place to bring baseball back. He also mentioned knowing the site the group is thinking about, and it's downtown. Does anyone know which site this might be which is seriously being considered?? http://www2.tsn.ca/window/podcastcentre/#id=16162 &id=13

    Nice clip...I wonder how much substance this proposal holds or if it'll disappear into the air as we've seen with many projects. Here's a few more pieces about Guy Bertrand's proposal: http://www.lapresse.ca/actualites/regional/montreal/201209/17/01-4574968-guy-bertrand-reve-du-retour-des-jo-et-des-expos.php http://www.rds.ca/plus/sports-divers/guy-bertrand-voit-grand-pour-montr%C3%A9al-1.492127 http://tvasports.ca/sports-ete/guy-bertrand-veut-les-jeux-et-du-baseball-17092012

    Je comprends que cette stade, qui est proposé, serait pas assez gros. MON QUESTION, c'est si le terrain est disponible et si il pourrait étre utilisé?
  21. Yesterday Richard Bergeron came out with more info on his proposed tramline project if he were to be elected mayor. First lines implemented in 2017 in time for the 375th birthday of MTL with the whole network of 35km being completed by 2020. I would love to see this happen.
