Saviez-vous que vous pouvez marcher à partir de Sherbrooke et McGill College jusqu'à Dr. Penfield et McTavish à travers les «passages secrets»? C'est un labyrinthe mais c'est possible.

Personne ne sait s'il y aura-t-il y avoir un passage reliant la station Berri-UQAM à Champs-de-Mars?

Nouveau projet Groupe Laurence de $60 a $100 million
Dr.D a répondu à un sujet de MARTY dans Projets oubliés et/ou en suspens
En accord. J'ai vu tout cela à travers les États-Unis et de l'Ontario. malheureusement ce qui accélère l'étalement urbain et la dépendance plus sur les voitures -
C'est vrai. Voici quelqu'un qui est d'accord avec vous: http://www.cals.ncsu.edu/agcomm/news-center/economic-perspective/a-return-to-the-city/

What about fact they have closed parking, a large source of revenue? Isn't this a sign they haven't given up?

Transformer nos ruelles en spots parfaits pour un 5 à 7?
Dr.D a répondu à un sujet de IluvMTL dans L'actualité
I use this alley a couple of times a week: it's only one block long, very little graffiti, no garbage bins, already has a lot of foot traffic and is framed both directions. Perfect choice in my eyes. -
http://journalmetro.com/actualites/montreal/519113/les-etapes-de-realisation-du-carre-saint-laurent-se-poursuivent/ Malgré le retrait du gouvernement du Québec dans le projet du Carré Saint-Laurent, un concept immobilier de 160M$ dans le quartier des spectacles, les étapes de sa réalisation semblent se poursuivre. Le comité exécutif de la Ville de Montréal doit approuver mercredi la vente du dernier terrain qui n’était pas encore la propriété du gestionnaire de projet, la Société de développement Angus (SDA). Selon l’accord d’origine, la Ville devait acquérir par expropriation cette petite superficie de 3,9m2 le long du Monument national avant de le vendre au gestionnaire pour la somme de 9584$. La Ville indique dans des documents que cette vente permettra à la SDA de commencer les travaux du Carré Saint-Laurent à l’automne 2014, tel que le prévoit l’échéancier. Le gouvernement péquiste de Pauline Marois avait prévu y louer plusieurs bureaux pour l’un de ses ministères, mais le gouvernement libéral actuel a annulé cette décision le mois dernier par soucis d’économie. La Société de développement Angus a déjà acquis trois terrains dans le secteur. Le terrain où se trouve le Café Cléopâtre devait également faire partie des lots touchés par le projet, mais son propriétaire a refusé de déménager. La Ville a abandonné en 2011 les procédures d’expropriation.

Isn't it a bit odd they are working on a holiday: don't they have to get paid overtime for working today?

As far as I can see this is the most important project in MTL right now to break up that sense of down town ending at De la Montagne. If this project happens then the flow of the city to Atwater becomes complete. The density around Windsor station is great but then to have that hole in the urban fabric two blocks away makes no sense.

Hôtel de la Montagne - 21 étages (1975-2014)

dommage qu'ils ont manqué la fête nationale -
I agree totally. Just go to downtown Manhattan on any given night: they don't have blocks and blocks of parking and their business are very successful. People take subways, taxis and everyone gets to where they are going without huge parking lots. You are also right about the cyclical nature of bars and restaurants - they open, they thrive and then they close. That's the way it goes. I worked in bars and restaurants in the eighties from St Paul to Bishop Street and NONE of those clubs still exist today. It's normal and should not be blamed on development.

It's not simply politics, its a demographic shift west that has not only had the effect discussed in this forum so far but has absolutely decimated the ENTIRE East coast for the past thirty years (the mill cities of New England, The Rust Belt of Ohio and Pennsylvania and most notably the implosion of Detroit). Have you been to upstate New York or any major city on the east coast lately? The only cities to be able to be able to challenge this trend it have been Boston who reinvented themselves as a high tech center and New York City because their port is still relevant. Montreal's slide started back long before the PQ in 1959 with the building of the St Lawrence Seaway that allowed Americans to by-pass Montreal (and one could argue, coincidentally benefited Toronto). Then the shift of oil flow from exports being refined in Montreal (there were FIVE refineries and now there is only one) to the west, and finally all the manufacturing jobs, especially the garment industry formerly of Chabanel moving overseas all contributed to our demise. Can we stop it? Probably not, but NYC can be seen as a sign it can be reversed: between 1960 and 1980 NYC proper LOST over a million people (look it up) and has now recovered and is slightly higher in population. That being said, China is poised to overtake the US as the number one economic power by 2020 so which city in Canada is most likely to benefit from that? I'll give you a hint - it starts with a V. Do I love Montreal, hell yea! Do I think we can recover? Probably not as long as Montreal suburbs keep undermining Montreal's attempts at recovery with tax breaks and incentives to set up industries and head offices off island (Pharma in Laval, Aerospace in South Shore). The one thing we do have (and I hear it from Americans all the time) is our Art scene that you have to go to Europe to beat, but unfortunately, they don't build high rise office towers, just cool place like the Plateau and St Laurent Street. Maybe we should stop measuring our success by brick and mortar and measure it in joie de vivre. Just a thought.

Ça avance très bien - l'envergure de ce projet est vraiment impressionnante! Imaginez ce que cela va faire pour les marchands à proximité!

n'est-ce pas trop près de Molson?

Really sad: was a beautiful building but, use it or lose it. -
Just like ads for restaurant food (McDonald's, etc.): artist always makes it look better than it really is

Interesting discussion, I would like to point out an interesting phenomenon I saw in New Hampshire on my way home today. Many New England cities are left with the remains of the HUGE but handsome red brick mills of the last century that were vacated when many of the jobs were transferred overseas. Hartford has chosen to build new modern towers and left many of the old mills to rot, creating massive areas where you do not want to be at night (actually you probably wouldn't want to be there in the morning either). Manchester on the other hand is actively reusing those buildings both as residential and business locations, not unlike Montreal. No, they don't have as many skyscrapers as Hartford, but their mills look clean and inviting. So which city had the better response to the same problem?
