What is it about 5G and the Neuralink project (has nothing to do with Boring Company) that you don't think will happen? 5G is a few years away from mass use and even if Neuralink is abandonned by Musk, someone else will do it. IMO, Autonomous pods or automous buses are the future not a static track. What do you think a fleet of automous pods or buses will do to the STM? It'll be worse than what uber did to the taxi industry. There is nothing wrong with a moratorium, it has been done before. The total will be more than 6 billion by the end of this project of our money when public transit ridership is way down and continues to suffer.

There is no denying that even before this pandemic, businesses were more opt to explore remote work and remote learning, especially workplace training. All was on an uptrend. The events of this year just accelaerated the inevitable. Billions are being invested in networks to facilitate the transition. We have yet to see the true power of 5G and Elon Musk's Neuralink, which will radically change the world especially health and education. A huge amount of transit movement is students and the workforce which has been affected most likely permanantly. My work which was ademently opposed to remote work, has now said that physical presence at work will now be the exception permanantly. This will definatley affect public transit use since we are not the only comapany to do such changes. I think it is economically irresponsible to not forsee such societal shifts that are coming before the end of the decade.

Focus on Phase I only since it is most advanced and will be most widely used. Delay or cancel the rest. It seems like the only logical thing to do now. I was really excited about this project but I can see long term, it just won't be profitable or used much at all. They need to think long term. Businesses see the advantage of remote work both in terms of productivity going up and work-life balance since you no longer commute. But especially bottom line. Right now, businesses are absorbing the loss in revenue but they cannot continue for much longer. Universities will close because a large proportion of their revenue is foreign students, especially the english ones. They will shift to remote learning because they at least need some form of revenue recouperation.

The governement should seriously consider delaying or stoppping construction of this project especially in certain areas. It is a huge waste of funds imo. The pandemic accelerated the trend towards remote work and remote learning. Not only will businesses reduce their square footage when their lease comes up, in a few years, universities/high schools will close also. This new transport system will be an underused and expensive to maintain white elephant. They also fail to plan for driverless taxis and autonomous vehicules.

You have nothing to worry about. Smoke and mirriors show.

petit rappel que ceci est un discussion sur: COVID-19: L'effet sur l'économie et sur l'immobilier à Montréal

Maybe it is weather related. Maybe we screwed ourselves by staying indoors. The sun is up much longer here this time of year then any other major North American city. We will see what happens when the days get shorter and we go back indoors.

This project is dead not because of the commercial aspect, it is the residential part that was never approved and had very heavy opposers. The cranes will come down before the end of the year.

I posted it last Sunday actually. La Presse reporters often use mtlurb.com for their reporting work.

It was in trouble before the pandemic. Now it will become this... https://driveinmtl.com/ It is with huge excitement that we announce Canada’s first Drive-in Event Theatre in Montreal. The concept is to offer guests and corporate clients the ability to be ENTERTAINED , while respecting SAFE DISTANCING PRACTICES. The Royalmount Event Theatre located at the nexus of Décarie and Highway 40 at the new Royalmount project, will be a drive-in venue capable of hosting movie nights, live bands, comedy shows, speciality screenings, graduations, live sporting events, corporate presentations, launches and other public gatherings. • Window service will be available to eliminate the need for guests to leave their vehicles. • Individual bathrooms will be maintained with a team to disinfect after each use. • Premium audio will be broadcast to each car though their own sound system. With a 30ft stage and 50ft LED screen, this 250 car site will be available for rent to private groups, charitable organizations, schools and other collectives. We intend to offer guests the ability to exit their vehicles and ‘tailgate’ in a predetermined safe zone in front of their own vehicle. This project is conceived and executed by two of Canada’s leading event producers Adam Bultz of C3 Events and Lorne Levitt of Total Events , both leaders in the Montreal event community and experts in design and logistics. It is also being built with support of Carbonleo Real Estate Inc., the visionaries behind the new Royalmount neighbourhood. Approved by both the province and local municipalities, this group is looking to include programming from Cineplex, evenko, Just for Laughs and many other of the cities top promoters and will be rolling out a full schedule of programming over the next month.

Yes. Many meetings starting this week to essentially block any residential aspect of this project. As much as I would LOVE to see this happen, there are storm clouds coming from everywhere

-4500 unités d'habitation (mais il faut l'autorisation de Ville Mont-Royal). They will never get it. Even with the current changes that are proposed. I cannot say why until later but there is even a team of lawyers in Toronto involved.

2020-02-23 Another crane going up. Ironic considering the legal issues against the residential phases coming up in March (rough estimate)

Le projet de réaménagement dans ce secteur commence à porter fruits!

wooohooooo!

Ok c'est sérieux là. Svp @Marc90 et @greenlobster contactez-vous pour régler cette affaire. Le rêve de boucher le plus gros trou est en balance! (That's what she said)

Oh my Jesus lord almighty christ! I havent prayed in years but I think I will start by praying that becomes a reality! 😵

It's been said many times that the graffitti will be removed at the completion of the project. However, If you go and spray paint a big, fat penis or write rascist remarks, it will be removed the next day. I am not kidding.

The maintenance costs were taken into account as well when purchasing because no other screen technology available can have a better contrast ratio than OLED screens. TFT LCD is old but more reliable tech.

Don't be so negative. This is a good first step.

One of your guesses is the issue .
