It ends, 😅 !!!

Gaudi pastiche?

Am I mistaken or do these two projects both claim the same space?

If I may be permitted one last post in this silly tangent, the worst “highway-through-downtown” on the planet is the combined monstrosity of the Cahill Expressway segment that divides Sydney's central business district from the harbor (Circular Quay) entertainment district. It's a double-whammy, with cars on the upper level and train lines below, with busy Circular Quay station five meters above street level.

 

 

 

 

Boston was the same until they put it underground with the famous "Big Dig". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Dig

Seattle had the same problem and is taking the same action. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_Route_99_tunnel

I can't seem to find the thread on the renovations to the Fairview Pointe-Claire Shopping Center so I'll post this here. Reno's still on-going on the outside. Photos from June 1st 2021.

 

Fairview has been under renovations for the past ten years.

Amazing photo!

Pretty suggestive painting. A whole Georgia O'keeffe thing happening.

New development in Westmount on de Maisoneuve just west of Victoria. Sign says 75% sold and there is some activity. Very close to Vendome metro but not really aimed at those who take the metro.

Could be but surrounded by new residences.

In my opinion, this development is already dense enough for the neighborhood. I like the play of volumes and textures. An ensemble where life is good, elegant and which gives an excellent quality of life to its residents. Thanks to the Quartier des Lumières, it will be opened up to the east and will benefit from a direct link to new local services and a magnificent pedestrian-cycle promenade that will go beyond the Jacques-Cartier Bridge. 

En accord

Project in Lachine

Pretty big project to fly under the radar. Only thing I can find about it is that it is a project by Davmont Gestion Immobiliere

New project slated for Montreal West, corner of St Jacques and Westminster (former Library parking lot).

👍

The problem with the West island is most areas are very low density 2,090.8/km2 for Kirkland versus 12,792.1/km2 for the Plateau or 3,889/km2 average for Montreal. It does not merit a second spur.

Although not to scale I believe the image gives an accurate rendition of what we would see. This is Seattle monorail from street view; practical but not pretty.

New project filling in a gap near Notre Dame. Very narrow but leaves just enough space for another one next door.

Rear view

Good research to make your point and the new bridge looks far more robust and aesthetically pleasing.

It really lacks greenery… did the renderings when the plan was sold look like this? It looks like a zoo enclosure is really disappointing for the owners I had confidence in the project ...

Obviously the areas of earth will be planted and I personally like the way it is laid out (but that's just me).

Not moving very fast.

You should put them together as an animated GIF so we can watch them grown then shrink again.

Is the hotel entrance on Ontario or de Maisonneuve?

Back to business . . .

From the maps I've seen, 1978 is the last year where any hint of a blue extension to the west can be seen. Also, notice the other end of the blue line. Yep, some ideas just refuse to die. You've also got the Bois-Franc extension on this map. The Huffington post has regrouped those maps here: https://quebec.huffingtonpost.ca/2016/06/19/h historique-du-metro-de-

Thanks so much! I've been banging my head against a wall looking for that map for years.
