    Buenos Aire having more stations than Montreal but shorter in km. i remember the wood cars. They get ride of them in 2012 if i remember. 

    Buenos Aires is really dense i won't be surprised if it's smaller in superficia than Montreal. 

    The most overcrowded metro i took was the Sao Paulo metro. 

     

     

    Metro does mean underground, but in many cities what began underground often expanded to run above. In Mexico City, the "Metro" goes under and over ground in Canadian made Bombardier cars but the windows open!

    I think they are, CDPQ-Infra is so secretive and is not cooperating with many of the transit authorities. I work for the STM and thats the feedback I'm getting from people in network planning.

    From what I can see is that the REM is forcing people to use it and wanting others to have the same rights. Also what bothers me alot is that the REM doesn't cross the river at Anse-A-L'Orme to Vaudrueil and Marie-Victorin to Laval, or Riviere-Des-Prairies to Repantigny / Terrebonne. I see it as a missed oppertunity to remove congestion from the bridges going into Montreal.

    We already have the Exo Hudson line to Windsor station servicing the area; why a second spur?

    Limite de hauteur à 200m, pour ou contre ?

    I think the idea is to have certain areas where the limit could be increased to 250-275 meters. I'm not advocating that we change the limits throughout the entire downtown core. I agree that there shouldn't be any huge skyscrapers on Ste-Catherine Street or in Old Montreal, but in the lower part of town (Ie: St-Jacques and Ste-Antoine Streets or on top of Central Station) I thing it should be totally feasible !! 

    I vote for the top of central station: it would be surrounded by 200+ buildings creating a mountain effect, a reflection of Mount Royal.

    Okay, when you look at it from that angle, taken in isolation. My interpretation is that this "recess" was designed as an original although questionable way of concealing the rear of the narrow building on Beaver Hall housing the Parma Café in particular on the corner. A positive result is to make possible glazed openings facing each other. We are entering a new world. The reality of the old building on Beaver Hall is obscured.    

    I think it is original out of necessity, given the constraints arising from the surrounding buildings that are still standing. (see also my response to Rocco above).

    Notwithstanding the particular constraints of this downtown site, it is also worth noting that HEC Montréal appears to have a knack for somewhat weird architecture --witness their other two buildings of the modern era: on Avenue Decelles * on the western edge of the main UdeM campus, and the more recent on Chemin de la Côte Sainte-Catherine.

    * disclosure: I was among the first groups in the early 1970's studying full time and graduating at this location. I guess we as students did not mind the rather brutalist architecture, but that was then ...

    I was under the impression the fine arts department will eventually get consolidated in the Greg Nuns buildings. 

    Source? It's been a while but when I was at Concordia, the Fine Arts department was an entity unto themselves and they like it that way.

    New project replacing  depanneur destroyed by fire. 

    What really intrigued me is how they are building it: using styrofoam blocks, it looks like bland Lego going up. Similar project in Lachine on Prevost. Is the idea to put up insolation first or is this a new trend in construction?

    Alternatives au REM de l'Est

    Downtown reflex (while this axis is more representative of the movements of the residents served and this majority is mainly in solo auto mode) + CN actually very off-putting on the use of its tracks.

    Line B (REM) 

    This is good, but these trips to the city center are already largely entirely or partially by TEC and do not really represent the majority of trips from the east. An alternative would be a line with 2 branches too (purple - aerial, ground and tunnel like line A) which does not go to the city center, but which connects to lines A, Green, and Orange; It greatly improves service and transportation options for people who go downtown and the majority who do not .

    Interesting premise: pragmatic and would locate Place Versailles as a major transfer station (many coming from east could transfer to Green line) but does this really meet the needs of travellers from the east end?
