I would like to see a fixed tempered glass roof like in the photo, with design cable to support the roof weight and to keep the charm of the old stadium look. I think this would be a good solution. Any thoughts about this type of design

Montreal city hall and at the old port we have the H M C S  Oriole of the Royal Canadian Navy docked at the pier Monday 11th 2018.

Monday June 11th 2018 Doing walk about today ,so I took several snaps of our beloved city. ?JGF

Monday June 11th 2018 making great progress.

Sure taking along time to put the red panels in. Maybe the subcontracted the work to the people that built the Toms. 

And a big thank you to MTLURB , for all the members & masters,Godfathers for educating and taking the time to operate a extremely informative and fun site. From one member to another.A BIG THANK YOU is due.

They should have these type of glass doors in  our  Metro's and The R light rail system. It doesn't block the view.( its glass.) Plus anything to cut down on suicides on the Metro, crazy people pushing people in front of trains is a good thing.Only thing about installing these type of glass automatic door system is the cost of installing it throughout the system.So i don't think the metro will see this system installed any time soon.

I would love to see a sports mural combo with stars ⭐️ from the Expos,Habs,Als and other sports figures that have made Montreal the city is today.Hall of Fame wall of stars looking down on the skating rink.

YES  YES I seen these lifts and look they have one in Quebec City to get up and down the mountain to the old city. They can close one set of stairs on one of the sides at beaudry. Do this for Verdun and every other inclined station. Most stations have super wide staircases. IT CAN BE DONE AND IT LOOKS TO ME IT COULD BE DONE IN A CHEAPER WAY.

Beaudry metro station will close for eight months

Posted today at 3:59 am

In order to undergo a "youthful cure", the Beaudry metro station will completely close its doors to the public for almost eight months, between the fall of 2018 and the spring of 2019, Radio-Canada learned.

A text by Romain Schué

The specific dates of this closure will be announced within a few weeks, says the Montreal Transit Corporation (STM), which intends to launch a communication campaign on this subject this summer.

The STM is planning a complete refurbishment of this green line station, which opened in December 1966 in the heart of the Village, in the downtown area of the city. It is also the deepest network in Montreal (29 meters), with the Charlevoix station.

In all, nearly 18 months of work are planned and a call for tenders has already been launched at the end of April. The budget for this renovation has not been specified.

Walls and floors will be retyped, as well as the long treadmills, characteristics of this station which dates from the initial network, and whose building faces Sainte-Catherine Street East .

Electrical, lighting and signage work will also be done.

During this period, bus shuttles will be offered to users. They will be invited to use Berri-UQAM or Papineau stations, around 600 meters away.

"Do not harm the tourist season," says the STM

According to the STM, a complete closure was necessary since this station has only one entrance.

"If we had decided to keep this station open, the work would have lasted three years. Shutting it down helps us speed up this project, "said Amélie Régis, spokesperson for the public body.

Initially, this closure was planned this summer. The STM has finally revised its plans.

"Usually, we prefer to close a station for renovations during the summer, because this is the period with the least traffic," said Amélie Régis. But because of the pedestrianization of St. Catherine Street [until September 28], we did not want to harm the tourist period. "

The complete closures of Montreal's metro stations are rather rare. The last one dates back to 2015. Because of again major repairs, the Beaubien station, on the orange line, was closed for four months .

In 2016, according to figures provided by the STM, Beaudry station recorded 1.3 million admissions. This is the 63rd station, out of 68, in terms of ridership.

Berri-Uqam and McGill are the resorts that welcome the most users. Last year, respectively, 12.1 and 11.3 million customers passed the doors of these stations. Guy-Concordia completes this podium with nearly 9 million admissions.

I HOPE THEY WILL PUT ELEVATORS IN THE STATION AND NOT HAVE TO REVISIT THIS IN 5 years like Vendome metro station tunnel to hospital mess.Do it right the first time.

It will be necessary to see what will be the means of pressure. But we agree that they must be careful not to alienate the public. He could do in Japan I believe, or they simply stop asking and selling the passing titles. 

If it affects the services to the clients, the government will have no difficulty in passing a special law. 

They should lock up the fat cats on both side in a room until they have a deal. The public shouldn’t to be held hostage because the two side won’t do there jobs. We all know they will come up with a deal giving them more money and what ever , which will cost the public more money.They should get the cost of living increase like most québécois get.And not a penny more.Free uniforms and training could be included.and perks to the insurance plan.Thats it.

But it seems land all round these projects have been bought up, So I imagine that condos will appear within this decade on all that land near each REM. 

April 23rd 2018 Seems to have quite down since taking down the smoke stack. They are doing a lot of hauling away of the soil which I gather is for the Indoor parking of the various condos I will be interested how the underground  parking will be separated for each building or connected.

April.23rd 2018.....Still a work in progress, but i must say i do like the design of this building.

The first phase is pretty much done ,Now restoring this building and of course Phase 2 I believe

April.23rd,2018 TDC NUMERO 2 Its coming along,I believe you can make 10  TDC before 1 toms building gets finished. LOL Cheeky but true.

April .23rd,2018 Kinda cool got to see them use Dynamite blasting, plus the sounds of the warning siren.

Verdun is not the future ... Verdun is Verdun and proud of it. Why do people want to compare us to any other. Verdun Rocks on it's own and does not have to hold a candle to know one. I'm a verdunite and darn proud of it.❤️❤️???⛪️

Wow 700 pages and the shovel only went in the ground last week, by the time its done we will be over 2000 pages for sure. REM is going to be a hot topic tocome folks.????

I agree to having a steel framed over pass, but I think planter boxes all along the bridge would be a good enough solution. Having lights design to give it a beautiful look. It’s to get people from point A to B but to also keep cost down. Governments throw these millions around like its nothing but like everything in life the ....... is going to hit the wall ,sooner than later.( someone gonna have to pay ? the bill )

What ever happen to grass , it seems like concrete is the new grass in Montreal. Every park is a concrete jungle. Progress i guess?

Does anyone know if it is possible to cover the river?

Only if you replace the water with beer then I'm in. Saint biere de suds river. LOL I go swimming every day.

I wonder in 40 years what they would think our architectural style. Because they way I look at it we are all going to be metal and glass structures .Its like when in Jurassic Park they brought the dinosaurs back to life all  the Archaeologists were out of business.Shame that they rarely do they marry the two. But in the end I guess if its fresh & clean and brings some pop back to a neighborhood is at least something.

Good luck with that Mayor hates cars let alone Parking ,We will have Bike racks all over the place and in the winter we will have skidoo parking. Cars belong underground hidden from the view of the public. LOL
