    Montreal's Future Skyline

    This is so good. Your renders are pretty amazing! 👍🏼
  2. Kinda looks like that pigment whatever it is they used in the prefab will fade quickly enough. From some angles it already looks less black and more gray.
  3. The ugliness of the REM structure doesn’t diminish the ugliness of the Wellington bridge.

    Montreal's Future Skyline

    It’s really good. But where is TdLB?
  5. Et s’ils installeront les portes-palières prochainement (et aux nouvelles stations comme prévu pour l’extension Anjou), les panneaux-affiches au dessus des portes pourront indiquer la destination/direction/terminus/etc.
  6. Everything is subjective. I personally find the Oratory is hideous — though I can’t wait to go up to the new observatory. IMO it is a blemish on the mountain, but it is a landmark and I could never imagine the cityscape without it. I don’t find the antenna tower at all ugly.
  7. Exactly this. I’m not sure why it was necessary to remove it, perhaps it was structurally unsound, but I’d think it’s part of the building’s and skyline’s heritage and was worth repairing, even if its necessity for radiocommunication was deprecated. Could the owners of 1250 just “remove” its spire? “But it serves no purpose!” 🤷🏻‍♂️
  8. It still bugs me. I know it no longer served a purpose but to me it was part of the building’s and skyline’s signature.
  9. Where there’s a will, there’s a way...

    REM de l'Est

    The Grim Reaper walking by made me LOL though...

    REM de l'Est

    I suppose if they build the structure 50 m off the ground, Metropolis-style, nobody will complain about the view or the noise.

    REM de l'Est

    I thought about that too: westbound on RL, eastbound on DLG, but because it’s a terminus that’s a bit confusing and dumb for our situation.
  13. “As for parking availability for REM users, Plamondon said: “There is none right now.” “(That question) should be directed to the REM,” he added.” Of course! REM expropriated 20% of the property to build the station and facilities!
  14. Fingers crossed! All I’m gonna say is I hope they start with fixing the problems we already have before announcing pre-election pork: for the metro, platform screen doors, upgrade and renovate all the decaying metro stations, needed extensions, more new rolling stock; for regional rail, acquire and build trackage, upgrade and double-up tracks, minimize incursion points by eliminating most level crossings, electrify lines, improve stations and the passenger experience, improve modal transfers; and finally, fix the bus system.
  15. Not sure they can keep to it after the crisis, but it only shows $8.6 for “transportation” which includes roads. The biggest chunk ($72B) is for maintaining existing infrastructure
  16. For clarity: I love this! I wish we discovered diamonds under our city and had $200 B to spend on transit and social projects!
  17. I was thinking more like the APM lines in Singapore (they call it the “light rail”) that make a butterfly route to feed people from the densely-populated HDBs to the main MRT line. So if I’m allowed to fantasize, I could see a tram or electric BRT doing a big loop from REM/Fairview up St-Jean, east on Pierrefonds, and down des Sources to the REM/Sources station. A shuttle buss across the New Île-Bizard Bridge would feed the tram! Interesting to note that this 28 km system (including a third loop not shown above that’s on the northwest corner of the island) handles 180,000 passengers a day using 25m APM “trains”.
  18. Thanks. I’m not too up on the rink. Somehow I didn’t realize it was going to be in the Esplanade Tranquille, and thought it was in Place des Festivales. 👍🏼
  19. “In co-operation with the City of Kirkland, land use entitlement for the property as mixed-use is underway and demolition for the first phase of the project is targeted for late 2022 to early 2023.” 👍🏼😃 This is somewhat sooner than I expected, but I guess phase one will line up with the anticipated opening of the West Island branch of REM in 2024.
