Neither will we refrain giving ours! And there is no conspiracy from us leftist angry mob against your trumpish way of thinking. Do not worry, you don't have the importance that you seem to think you have.

It doesn't have anything to do with an overarching socialist omnipotent force that is out to impose cold and brainy concepts on the world.

Frankly, it just has to do with your comments being really stupid. That's all. Nothing more complicated. Don't overthink this. Chill, bro.

 

 

Here come the angry MTLURB mob computer tuff guys calling me trump and socialist. A little emotional there snowflake lol

It is very unfortunate but again shows most people on this forum are incapable of having a discussion. Just mob mentality that is prevalent in all social media. Their answer is an ignorant generalization and a meme. "Oh look, a funny meme, let me jump on the band-wagon! Bring out the pitch-forks!"

Too bad. 

If some of you all still believe that the red light district is still in that area, you are wrong or don't even live or pass by that area anymore (most don't) .

Aside from the mentioned Cleopatre theatre, it is soon becoming a northern "Times Square" which was completely gentrified in the last century.

The older folks might remember how shaddy Times Square was with hookers and pimps and shady people everywhere. No family would bring their kids there! It is becoming obvious (again only to those that frequent the area) that they want to get rid of the shaddy area and history of st-laurent/ste catherine area as well. They want to make it more family friendly. Well, no normal parents of small children would want to bring their kids there!..yet. Seriously, places like that exist, which is fine, I don't care. But it is a weird contrast and the transition to a more family friendly area requires that Cleopartre has to close down.

That was the point. 

I agree. It boggles my mind that some people on this board think its ok for young children to meet with such social scum but then again im not surprised given the low social moral of our society lately. In regards to your point on social media mob mentality, you are spot on. Just look at the amount of thumbs down I get on my post which is intentionally orchestrated by a mob segment of the MTLURB community. Not that I care for this or that it will deter me from giving my opinion, but it just shows how sad social media, and this forum for that matter, has become. 

Nice clean square slick design. I love it. Need more like this in my opinion!

Why would the cost be less with a less extravagant design? Costs overrun here had nothing to do with the design.

I understand this. But did this bridge really need a tower with cables other then for aesthetic reasons?? I'm sure the public would've been pleased with a simple functional bridge.

The extra costs to the taxpayers have to do with moving the sewer, not the bridge design.

Do I have to speak in french or Quebecois on this forum to get people to understand my comments??? Ce que jai dit simplement c'est que le cout global de cette projet du pont St-Jacques aurai pu etre moin couteux avec un design moin extravagante. Je ne blame pas le design sur les couts extra publier aujourdhui!

Just now, lma13 said:

If you read the article its not the bridge's design that caused the costs to go up.

If you read my post, I did not blame the design of the bridge. I pointed out that cost savings could've been made with a more simple design!

And once again, taxpayers get stiffed. Did this bridge really need to be this extravagant?? Could've saved money in that area!

J'ai souvent croisé des prostituées quand j'étais petit. J'en suis pas mort, et même que maintenant, comparativement à d'autres, ça a contribué à me permettre de les considérer comme des humains, et non comme des déchets.

Mois aussi j'ai eu de belle rencontre avec des prostituees dans le bon vieux temps. Des moments tres agreable! Alors, vous avez tous raison. Mes excuses. Bon, retour au sujet!!

D'accord avec toi. À vouloir laver plus blanc que blanc, on se retrouve souvent avec un centre-ville sans âme, bien propret. Je ne fréquente pas les prostituées, mais ne comptez pas sur moi pour accabler ces filles. C'est un milieu très dur. On ne va pas faire disparaître la prostitution, pas plus qu'on ne va faire disparaître la drogue. Ce sont des réalités de la vie. Les gens se raccrochent à ce qu'ils peuvent.

Oui je suis d'accord avec vous! Tous ses rencontre sont positive pour le publique. On devrait aussi amener nos petits enfants pour serrer la main de ses pauvre prostituees et peut etre meme prendre une danse pour qu'ils apprennent c'est quoi ce milieu de travaille tres tres dur...

Great impact that new Champain bridge will have.

I guess the bums and strippers have infiltrated this board. Cant handle the harsh truth lololol. The city should wake up and shut down these low class sub par STD infested strip joints.

Imagine walking by bums and grotesque strippers hanging outside Cleopatras as you leave the food market with your kids. ?

Clean slick design. Reminds me of Brookfield Place in Calgary Not bulky like the current render.

Similar white lines found on YUL towers. I prefer the old promoter's render. Impressed with how fast the sales office went up however!

Only the NFL makes more revenue than the MLB. Its a billion dollar investment that the city needs

MLB ranks 3rd as America's most popular sport. NBA is now ranked first ahead of even the NFL. Numbers dont lie. MLB is losing ground. Taxpayers dont need to fork a billion dollars to satisfy a few peoples nostalgia needs. If the province or city is gonna waste taxpayer dollars, do it on a growing sport like the NBA!

It will not look pretty from the side thats for sure!

Arguably the ugliest new neighborhood in the country!

Remember, they still have yet to configure the roads which will connect to the bridge. I dont see how this gets done by January. Early spring (March) would be a better estimate. 

Je suis d'accord. Es ce trop dur pour la ville d'exiger que les constructions a hauteur soit vitrer d'une certaine pourcentage?!? Et de plus, regarder moi le design prehistorique!!

Correction: Il est evident que ce lot tombe dans la section +120m donc tu peux batir jusqu'a 200m qui est la limite maximum imposer par la ville.

These damn height restriction! It needs to go or else l'avenue could have easily been taller

L' Avenue developers could've built to 200m. They decided to cut 7 floors off the original planned render due to market conditions i believe.

La section blanche a droite a une limite de 200m.

Brivia is usually topping its buildings at 38 floors, lets see if they manage THE one. Whats the maximum height on this lot?

They top 38 floors because the max height for their previous lots were 120m. This lot has a max height of 200m if im not mistaken.
