On dirait des clin d'oeils involontaires au projet de l'ONF

Par contre ils planifient pour que la glissade d’eau en spirale restera en voie simple

Raison de plus pour que la Biosphère et Habitat 67 soient reconnus comme sites historiques nationaux.

... tandis que le projet de Brivia s'annonce comme le "1 Square Phillips". De loin ma préférence c'est le 1 Square Phillips.

Please please complete the MaryRobert so that I can stand at UrbMtl's photo location and NOT have to see Le Griffix.

Gotti, no downvote from me, and Exposteve, well articulated points.

Agreed about the Mosaïque, it's far too utilitarian and institutional, what I'd describe as the Decarie Interchange of residential design, something you pass by in order to get somewhere else, and hope it will eventually be knocked down. Definitely not as soul-crushing as the 1970s concrete apartment towers of Shaughnessy Village (or the now-demolished Hotel de la Montagne), but not very imaginative either. On the other hand... The Mosaïque was one of those early 2000s newbuilds that helped jumpstart the Quartier International. with some infill between the Palais des congrès and Place Victoria. I worked right around there from 2000-2008 and day after day saw it all going up, ICAO's east underground parking, the Bank of Canada become the W Hotel, the very nice CDPQ going up, Square Victoria transformed, etc... At the time the Mosaïque was an awesome addition to densify the area, it really stood out. It's only in hindsight that I've changed my perspective about its design, and realize that in fact it was projects like the Unity that helped to define the vibe of the area. We should all live in the Mosaïques of the world so that the view out our windows would be the Humanitis, CDPQs, Royal Banks and Place Riopelles of the world.

Les côtés en pente (inclinés?) du nouveau pont augmentent-ils le risque que des couches de glace glissent et tombent sur Décarie? Do the sloping sides of the new bridge add a risk of ice sheets slipping off and crashing down onto Decarie?

Is it just me, or does this NOT sound like what m. Rouleau said or intended to say?

Possible yes, but as already discussed in the YUL section of mtlurb, the 'second terminal' is really an appendage of the main terminal, where 1. the planned transit centre will be located (a HUGE investment for ADM) and 2. the check-in areas will remain focused. So short of a larger-scale redesign of the in-terminal passenger flows, it would seem unlikely that a second REM station would be built to service YUL's passenger terminal. We are not CDG or Heathrow.

It's the world's first vertical medina, and in all seriousness I find the look very appealing. We often see architectural components that echo or mirror other structures in the surrounding vicinity. In this case the design also echoes an important component of the cultural milieu immediately west of Concordia.

Et justement cela libère des chambres dans les établissements concus pour de plus courts séjours p.e. ' les correspondances d'une nuit' dont faisait mention acpnc. C'est peut-être ce dont parlait nephersir7, 'séjour de longue durée' :)

The southern portion of the Dorval project is still on the books within the MTMDET 2018-2020 budget: Source: https://www.transports.gouv.qc.ca/fr/projets-infrastructures/investissements/investissements-routiers/investissements-routiers-2018-2020/Documents/liste-500k-montreal.pdf

That's a nice idea however... Canadian Pacific / Exo would be very unlikely to approve any new in-town level crossings, even if solely for bikes and foot traffic. A straight line from Place St Henri station up to Ste Catherine in lower Westmount, allowing for your perpendicular portion, is about 700m. From Place St Henri station to the same point on St Catherine, via the Glen arch, is about 1.3km. For a cyclist, there's no issue with that additional 600m distance. Which leaves pedestrians, and I suspect the origin-destination demand just wouldn't be great enough to justify such an investment.

Si jamais des employés de l’AC partent en grêve, j’imagine qu’ils pourraient manifester avec des pancartes ‘AC c’est AC’.

Alors on se calme, voici quelques uns des membres de la cinquiême colonne arrivés sur les lieux pour démanteler Le Smith...

C'est comme dire "Les forces nazi avancent vers la France, la Belgique et les Pays-Bas, et menacent d'envahir, mais pour le moment tout semble aller bien".

Steve a raison SI aucune autre tour est érigée a l'est de Shannon et au sud de Wellington, car le Mary Robert deviendra en sorte un serre-livres des tours visibles a notre gauche en entrant via le viaduc CN ou l'autoroute.

Is it just me, or does the side view perspective resemble a grotesque aircraft seating plan?

L'espace pour la maison manquante serait idéal comme entrée de construction pour la deuxiême tour YUL... Pis ensuite la maison se fait batir. Just an idea...

Vue de cette perspective, la passerelle du parc c'a l'air d'un hommage brutaliste à l'ancienne autoroute Bonaventure.

Pour le projet Turcot/R136, les caméras du québec511 sont une bonne source d'images en direct. En ce moment le caméra Atwater nous offre une perspective sur la construction du pont pour la sortie réservée aux transports collectifs: http://www.quebec511.info/diffusion/en/camera/AfficherCamera.aspx?id=3450&srcUrl=/en/cameras/montreal/

Bravo Lemay, un exemple d’ou l’aperçu artistique est nettement inferieure par rapport au produit final. C’est un ajout qui se fera remarquer dans les décennies a venir.

Merci Rocco. On dirait des baleines en train de plonger.

I love that expression. I'd never heard it before. Merci MDCM.
