Les sous entremises doivent etre installer sur la membrane avant de voir le revetement rouge. Encore un ptit bout!

Not just Solar Uniquartier. The Terra project in Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue (by Broccolini) would also be in trouble. As well as any future plans for a new baseball stadium in Griffintown. I honestly think that this project has too much momentum to be cancelled.

Whoever leaked this info better hope that JdM doesn't give up their source Major, major breach of confidentiality Also, I agree that the number of deficiencies seems to be quite high but I feel like people don't really understand the scale of this project.... It's important to put everything into context

The best part is that it's actually not even finished yet.... The current situation looks nothing like the render from 2009 What a shitshow lol

Looking from east to west (from Longueuil towards downtown) it is in fact possible that TDC2 fills a hole between 1000 de la Gauchetiere and Tour de la Bourse because T de la B is a bit further south Hooray for Google Maps 3D!

Wow, I watched all 23 minutes and 43 seconds. We complain a lot but we truly live in a magical city.

Des plans pour soumission ne sont pas des plans pour construction. There will undoubtedly be some changes (and the final cost will be adjusted accordingly).

Rufus a raison... c'est probablement une membrane Soprema thermofusible

Such dishonest advertising, I can't get over it.... More like Pontiac Fairview if you ask me

I feel like we were just getting over the curse of St. Patrick after sending Roy to Colorado and now we've got the curse of PK to deal with

D'après moi c'est pour éviter des frais de construction en conditions d'hiver (très dispendieux). Easier to tell clients that the start of construction has been pushed back due to slow sales than to tell them that you don't want to spend all that extra money

You guys have to be joking.... I lived near the end of Antoine-Faucon for most of my life and before I moved, it took 20 minutes to get from my house to the 40. Total distance: 3 km .... That's an average speed of 9 km/h. The new north-south boulevard behind the Colisee is already overdue. Even if the Cap Nature project doesn't materialize "as is", I can guarantee you that more houses/condos will be built in the area and people need a way to get to the REM station, get to the highway etc. If I have a meeting on a Monday morning in February, I'm not going to ski down to the REM station in my suit. Let's use a little common sense please. 4 lanes in each direction (3 for regular vehicles and 1 for carpooling/electric vehicles/bus/taxi), with a bike path and sidewalk on each side of the boulevard. You're not downtown or in the Plateau with metro stations a 10 minute walk away in any direction.

Wow....

More good news on the AI front http://montreal.ctvnews.ca/rbc-looks-to-get-smart-with-montreal-artificial-intelligence-lab-1.3687375 RBC looks to get smart with Montreal artificial intelligence lab Ross Marowits, The Canadian Press Published Tuesday, November 21, 2017 10:45AM EST Canada's largest bank is joining global tech giants in setting up a research lab in Montreal to take advantage of the city's growing artificial intelligence expertise. The Royal Bank of Canada will open a Borealis AI lab in the new year, joining labs in Toronto and Edmonton. It hopes to have 10 researchers on staff in the first year of operation. "(Montreal) is absolutely one of the hottest places not only in Canada but on earth right now," says Foteini Agrafioti, RBC chief science officer and Borealis AI head. RBC will join Silicon Valley tech heavyweights like Facebook, Google and Microsoft, along with Samsung and other global players that have made a presence in the city. "It's become very, very attractive with the momentum that they've built," Agrafioti said in an interview. While the Borealis labs work collaboratively, she said the contribution of McGill professor Jackie Cheung as an academic adviser will allow the Montreal lab to focus on his expertise of natural language processing. Part of RBC's focus is to develop technology to pick up early signs of seemingly disconnected events going on around the world by evaluating social media chatter and news in far flung countries that could potentially have an impact on North American markets. Even though heightened activity in Montreal is creating competition for companies looking to lure researchers, Agrafioti is hoping RBC will have home advantage. "Our hope here is to be adding the voice of one Canadian business that does fundamental research in AI and giving the people the opportunity to create that value through a Canadian company." The Montreal lab will collaborate with the Montreal Institute for Learning Algorithms (MILA) and renowned expert Yoshua Bengio, who has advocated for using AI to create homegrown tech champions that will keep intellectual property within the country. RBC Research Institute aims to ensure academic freedom so talented researchers can stay in Canada and develop technologies that benefit the Canadian economy, Agrafioti said. She said the goal is to make sure "that people are building companies that leverage Canadian intellectual property here in Canada on Canadian soil." RBC and the Bank of Montreal also announced Tuesday that they are injecting $4 million to the Creative Destruction Lab Montreal, which helps promising startups transition into high-growth companies. CDL is a partnership between the University of Montreal's HEC business school and the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management. The first round of 28 selected applicants, most of which have patents, will receive coaching from experts and investment funds to accelerate their startups to the next stage. A similar lab in Toronto created more than $1 billion in equity value in the last few years. "The CDL-Montreal program represents a stimulant challenge not only for our startup companies but also for all the partners involved in this innovative project," stated Fil Papich, co-head of BMO Capital Markets in Quebec.

We can't afford to wait for all those highway links to be completed before beginning this project. Not to mention some of those links will never happen (ex: 440 extension to the 40 in Kirkland, which would mean building a highway right across Ile Bizard). There is nothing wrong with an elevated structue as long as it is well thought out. We don't have the resources to reinvent the wheel here lol

I think the best option is to rebuild it as is, but using steel and not concrete. Right now the elevated structure is very heavy visually so that would help alleviate the design. The MTQ also needs to rethink the on-ramps and off-ramps to help traffic flow. There is no reason to turn this into an urban boulevard, it's a vital transportation artery for the city. I also think it would be a good idea to include "express lanes" for cars that do not need to exit while on the elevated portion.

The things we do for Mtlurb... pictures taken this morning (November 14th 2017)

Very weird situation indeed. All the consortiums received an addenda stating that the date was pushed back to an undetermined date and that the CDPQ would communicate with them when they had more information. Part of the reason could also be that it's a holiday in the construction industry today... A suivre mes amis

Weird that they decided to go with a different company for excavation of the 2nd tower (Vespo/Ramsol vs. Preco)

If you want the "wood" look without the maintenance, there is a product called Trex which is becoming more and more popular: https://www.trex.com/

Sounds like a familiar solution

Moi, j'appuie DENIS.

There is already a thread for this project

They're having a hard time freeing up the funds to complete the project. However, a new portion of the project is starting up this week

C'est deux ans pour le programme à temps partiel et ca coute environ $8500
