I’m thinking simple artistic rendering or an noise barrier maybe; Atlantic avenue runs right next to train tracks. If it’s a noise barrier, I hope they get artsy with it (even I know the thing will be tagged to oblivion in a matter of days.

Purolator veut livrer des colis dans le métro
macha a répondu à un sujet de acpnc dans Urbanisme, architecture et technologies urbaines
It doesn’t have to be at every single station on the network, some stations are best suited for that service in terms of space and traffic. I’m thinking it could be a few or almost all of the following; Berri-Uqam, Lionel-Grou, Henri-Bourassa, Côte-Vertu, Snowdon, Mcgill, Angrion, Longueuil, Rosemont, Monmorency, Radisson and one of either Parc, Outremont or Acadie. Also, if the investment isn’t worth the simple locker, Puralator could just straight up make the plunge into retail and start its own chain of convienience stores in the metro (“Bodega” by Puralator, or “Depa-Depo” by Puralator) , it wouldn’t be the first time the company switched it up (the American Puralator started off as an oil company). -
There was a campaign a while back promoting all sorts of points of interest directly serviced by the blue line… Got me thinking about how quite a few major cities have more than one central district (CD)!! There’s usually a main one and several sub ones. In terms of development, we keep jamming so much into Ville-Marie, while some neighbourhoods on the island don’t do much better than the classic suburb in terms of density and diversity of use. So I feel we’re really due for some serious zoning reclassification and welcomed hardcore YIMBY-ism around the blue line. With the Royalmount business component, Pointe-Claire, Laval and Longueuil’s plans to build their own high density CD, seems like there’s a demand. I could definitely see either Parc-Extension (and it’s southern surroundings), or Ahuntsic, or Anjou redevelloped as complementary CDs to Ville-Marie. The blue line extension does sound like it will complicate things on the orange line, but it could also be an opportunity for more balanced development… maybe.

Can someone familiar with the kind of incident we had this morning explain why up to 3 lines were paralyzed?

I don’t want to seem heartless, but like… the real estate market… you know… (bracing myself for the dislikes) Anyway, I like how today’s libraries aren’t just glorified book warehouse, but are also hubs for creativity and experimentation. Think accelerators, technology sandbox and creative workshops; maybe current and future library projects could include artist workshops or studio-residences. Also love the idea of repurposing landmark and historic buildings. -
Do we have a thread for the 15/40? While relevant to Royalmount, it feels like this is a discussion that goes beyond the project.

Seems easy to complain about the public management of rail in Canada, but we shouldn’t forget that a big part of the diminished returns of rail here and elsewhere in North America is because it was mismanaged and shamelessly dismantled by the private sector for so long. Let’s not dick ride the private sector just yet simply for the sake of craping on the government. If private is the way to go, we still need to figure out as a people what form that would take, so we’d still have public (government) involvement.

Control the Masses: Andres Duany

I noticed that, from what I gather a lot of STEM programs have required or option introductory macro or micro courses (maybe because DECs in science don’t cover Econ). Cool thing is that they’re often bird courses, so I would recommend taking either or both as an elective if it’s not required for the degree; for the educational value and the GPA boost. More likely as electives. Economics as a discipline has a pretty broad field of application. An economics undergrad program needs to be flexible. But a student should definitely work in some relevant courses if they plan on pursuing a career related to planning or getting into a masters in planning. Anyways, we’re getting way off topic, but this interesting. It would be nice to start some topic on urb-related education. -
I could see HFR making a dent in care and bus travel, but HSR is really the only equivalent alternative to air travel.

This could actually be a good news. The community can move to Chabanel and finally make the area a hub for creative types. -

How though? It’s not like were expecting urban planners to be bonafide market analysts. UQAM has required econ courses, while Mcgill has ECON option and elective courses. Quite a few standard URB courses happen to be multidisciplinary, and do cover to some varying degree macroeconomics. Accreditation agencies in Canada require that urban planning programs cover various fields of applied economics. The field isn’t completely blind to the science, or whatever was the point here. -
I just don’t get why people are pushing so much for a residential phase to the project. Do you guys understand how damaging it his for people’s health to live under 500 m of that particular type of expressway? This is a major public health issue that seems to completely fly over YIMBYS and density proponents. I’m all for efficiently development the area with commercial and office development, but asking people to live there is just irresponsible.

Par for the course considering the neighbourhood. Take a look with google street view if you don’t pass in the area often. -
montréal-nord Obsession Night Club
macha a répondu à un sujet de jerry dans Lieux de culture, sport et divertissement
No comment on the weird comment about haitiens, but I will say I don’t see any gentrification happening any time soon in Riviere-des-Prairies or Saint-Leonard. The money is already there, but those neighbourhood have a profoundly suburban developmental bent. You would need a massive push in terms of mass rapid transit and thoughtful developers like Christian Yaccarini to turn things around. (Gentrification is only as grassroots as the grass is green… it makes more sense in my head )Montreal-Nord though, even if less affluent, is more likely to see some gentrification in the future and I feel it could be on the cusp of something great. A little bit of rebranding and new offers like this club could go a long way. Pointe-aux-Trembles, while not the same demographics as Montreal-Nord, also has great potential for urban renewal. -
There’s space because there’s not a lot of people actually living or stopping there. We’re limited by the historical use and zoning of that axis and the St-Lawrence. We need to stop building our transit system out-of-way as to not trigger NIMBYS, and than be surprised when it’s underused and not profitable. Look at the Mascouche line; what a pile of hot summer time Chinatown garbage. Let’s reserve the land for a modern thoughtful urban boulevard and quality inter-city rail.
-
I just don’t understand why we should put a rapid transit system on an out-of-way location like Notre-Dame, considering we have the green line and that there are part of a city way more in need of effective transit. Wouldn’t reserving that spot for high speed or high frequency inter-city rail make more sense?

ouest-de-lîle REM - Prolongement vers Dorval
macha a répondu à un sujet de acpnc dans Réseau express métropolitain
They shouldn’t refer to it as a VIA Rail station, but as an intermodal station. I know its an actual VIA Rail station, but labeling it as VIA Rail kind of implies it’s just some ineffective out-of-way (it kind of is) inter-city station. There’s a lot of potential for integration here, but I would imagine that a lot of people in underserved densely populated area would be hella cheesed if this was actually considered before any type of more engrossing network extension. -
ville-marie Station McGill - Discussion

The congestion is going to be wild on the west side. I hope the STM reconfigures the concourse to something more like Berri-UQAM; adds a few more service and accès points, more turnstiles, make some of them 2-way access. -
Thanks Neph. On another subject: why do French people love to use English music in their ads, shows and movies?

She got a fine because she wasn’t holding the ramp??? I’m so confused, must be more to the story. Otherwise this is wild!

Quartier Glenmount de Côte-des-Neiges: des citoyens menacent de se séparer de Montréal

Here’s another idea… bring TMR back into the Montreal fold. Enough with those kinglets derailing any attempts at conscious, bold and global development of the region. #oneislandonecity -

macha a répondu à un sujet de ChrisDVD dans Réseau express métropolitain
Je supporterais les Monterois si; Un édicule supplémentaire pour la station Canora est construit sur Bates et Wilderton. Un engagement clair est pris pour implémenter des mesures d’atténuations intermédiaires (pas de tunnels) contres les polluants urbains à certains points clés de Ahuntsic-Cartierville et Saint-Laurent. Ville Mont-Royal ouvre complètement le transit piétonnier à sa frontière Est avec Parc-Extension. Phillipe Roy démissionne. Ville Mont-Royal est annexée une bonne fois pour toutes à Montréal. On s’engage à privilégier du développement à plus de 6 étages sur les nouveaux terrains.
