    Oh, I know the fundamental roadblock remains the obstinance of our Crown-sanctioned duopoly. The “interference with our operations” line is usually their main argument against electrification of shared subdivisions, even if they operate on those subs once a day (or even less).

    For those who say electrified regional rail can’t coexist with mainline freight rail, here’s a great picture of a SEPTA train in Philadelphia and a double-stack TEU train sharing an electrified right of way. Picture is from a really good regional rail proposal by the Toronto Region Board of Trade, and shared in a good tweet thread by @reecemartin.

    I’m still sorry this never happened. Le stade du Parc Labatt, originalement proposé au square Chaboillez (avant que le quartier ne soit réaménagé).

    Lmaooo

    That’s what the Grand Parc de l’Ouest is for. I’m looking forward to this building going up.

    And all the artwork makes it blend in with the rest of the decay.
  7. SameGuy
    Anybody know what it does? 😂

    I don’t disagree at all, I’ve been saying the same, despite what Bronfman and Sternberg have relayed through the media. The split-season idea is ludicrous. The MLBPA won’t ever allow it to happen.

    Uh, the choice of location, for one thing. 😜

    Lololol despite huge tracts of land dedicated to highways and interchanges, railways, more than a third of Trudeau airport, tons of green space and parks, and thousands of businesses large and small making up the largest employment hub outside of downtown, and it still has a population density of >2300/km²… but yeah let’s call it “très banlieue.” 🙄
  13. SameGuy
    Oh good! I’m not the only one who calls it that! Just like I don’t understand why so many people here wanted “Centrale” to be called “Bonaventure.” 😏

    They didn’t put the “Bassin” (Griffintown-Bernard-Landry) station under the Bassin as originally envisaged because it would have been technically extremely difficult and virtually impossible to integrate with the CN viaduct, so this idea will simply never be considered.

    Those aren't urbanists, they are developers. The three who owned most of Pfds-O told the city where the roads would go, not the other way around. And any time before 1998 or so, cities didn't employ or consult modern urbanists. M'lasse may have been the biggest bulldozing this city has seen, but it was far from the last [coughGriffintowncough].

    The LCD screens above the platform doors will indicate if they will be opening or not. Hors-pointe. Disons 14 heures sur 20 les jours de travail, et tout le long des fins de semaine. They won’t need four car trains leaving the Grand Parc de l’Ouest at 1:30 PM on a Thursday LOL

    Very few freights actually use it — or nobody would ever visit the Vieux-Port! — but trenching (cut-and-cover tunnelling) would be difficult there and somehow getting tracks up to the CN viaduct — either directly from de la Commune, or roundabout via the des Irlandais loop — is nearly impossible. Tunnelling under the viaduct is also sillier than just usurping part of the Ville-Marie/Viger tunnels. The CN freight line on de la Commune would be a great place for a tram from the Casino to Cité-du-Havre to Mill Point and along the Vieux-Port to Berri and up to the Berri-UQAM station (or perhaps terminating somewhere in the Molson or Cité des ondes).

    I still look at the Oracle Park in the SoMa district and its South Beach neighbourhood of San Francisco as the prime example of how this should be done, with Washington DC a close second (although in the latter example, gentrification and real estate speculation have left a lot of average residents out in the cold). The stadium was built with private financing and some tax abatements and public concessions for transit and local infrastructure upgrades, and the consortium took on the role of developer in revitalizing the entire district. “When it opened on March 31, 2000, the ballpark was the first MLB ballpark built without public funds since the completion of Dodger Stadium in 1962. However, the Giants did receive a $10 million tax abatement from the city and $80 million for upgrades to the local infrastructure (including a connection to the Muni Metro). The Giants have a 66-year lease on the 12.5-acre (51,000 m2)ballpark site, paying $1.2 million in rent annually to the San Francisco Port Commission.”
