Because the RFP offered much less money than anyone is willing to accept to create such a new roof.

↑ You mean with today's technology in tensioned fabric roofs, we can't supply our Olympic Stadium with a modern PTFE roof?

En regardant le rendu, c'est un prospectus pour gâcher ce chef-d'œuvre de l'architecture. Autant redessiner les traits de Françoise Gilot pour qu'elle ne soit plus La Femme-fleur.

Such a great story. I still tell it, even though my romance with CFL has long faded.

My father and I had season tickets in the late 70s and early 80s… One of my fondest memories was when the Als beat Edmonton 41-6 in the 1977 Grey Cup, when it was -32° in the Olympic stadium. But of course, I was thinking of CF in the post above… Lol

Pour... qui donc? Pour la faible possibilité que notre équipe de football organise un match éliminatoire devant 25 000 spectateurs? Pour le salon du véhicule électrique? Dépenser un milliard de dollars supplémentaires pour que ce gouffre accueille trois ou quatre événements par an est une folie tout à fait incroyable.

The pre-1984 stations were basically each a Miron quarry, then embellished and covered.

Once upon a time, we were proud to show it off.

Full Effet Yara!

Lol I just came to post the same picture. Mine was at 3:30ish.😆

But unlike Angrignon, Pripyat was actually a tourist attraction (until early 2022, at least). It also had a legit reason to look decrepit and abandoned.

Notée. @Brick's post was edited a couple of days ago and the Westbury pictures moved to the appropriate thread.

I mean the Colosseum has a metro line directly abutted to it, with an eponymous station.

Isn't that Westbury, not Triangle?

Bingo. REM is imperfect. It absolutely excites me that the West Island will soon have rail rapid transit, but let's not be blind to the system's many imperfections and compromises. The three main underground stations may some day prove to be inadequate as well, but that's only conjecture. On the other hand, like the CDPQi proposal for "REM-B," parts of REM are improper, ie: the wrong mode for the areas served (west of Bois-Franc, essentially). I get why they did it, and they benefitted from an alignment of the planets to save billions on rights of way and infrastructure, so Île-Bigras is getting a metro station. I mean, using exo6 numbers from prior to the cessation of service, Roxboro-Pierrefonds station alone would generate $23 million a year for the Caisse. I think more passengers will use the Pierrefonds-Roxboro REM station than the exo station. So I get it.

I really hope they keep that kink near the top.

🥱🥱😴

Yeah well under way 😎

They're not farting around

Just to be clear: the "East" already has TEC. This↓ is TEC:

Yeah guy Doubters gon doubt.
