    Dans le bled pour vrai. I had a similar idea as @Kodun when the route was revealed, but if you want to kill off exo1 in a hurry, that’s the way. Instead we should be pushing for an overhaul of commuter/regional trains in and around this metropolis. Exo1 should get its own ROW along the 20 with double tracking, electrification, level boarding and covered platforms. 15 minute two-way service with much shorter trains would work.

    Me semble ce ne sont que les voussoirs qui seront montés directement sur les chevêtres qui sont hors-poids pour le dégel, car ce sont les seuls livrés à cet heure.

    Really gotta wonder why it isn’t crossing back over the 40 and stopping in the Baie-d’Urfé industrial park. There’s plenty of room in front of Kubota and at the burned out former-Linguini/Stephanie’s resto or the abandoned spur just east of Galderma. It could be built with a central platform to obviate the need for a turn-around or tail tracks and switches.

    The old Steinberg’s location. 😉 [Showing my age]

    It’s this type of sound-bite activism that drives me crazy, tossing a straw man fallacy about their opponent in without giving any solutions to the questions they themselves raised. If Franssen’s group can raise $150M to help the community, don’t you think there are more pressing needs than La Malterie?

    Perhaps I missed it upthread, but Glenn has tweeted a link to the Renwick presentation. So for others who didn’t see it, you can get a better idea here: Renwick project for La Malterie

    Ç’a jamais pris que 33 minutes. 😂 D’habitude, quand il n’y a aucun dysfonction, DM-GC c’est entre 43 et 55 minutes. Mais c’était quand là dernière HdP sans délais sur l’exo6 DM? Lmaooooooo #ôtagesREM mon oeil

    Et les rames ne pésaient pas 50t!

    They’d also have to frickin rebuild C-P right down to the bedrock! It’s worse than the pukiest ride at La Ronde! 🤣

    Comment? C’est un Flexity de Bomberdier, type très populaire partout au monde (+100 villes, incluant Minneapolis — où les extrêmes de météo sont beaucoup pires qu’ici).

    So, The Seagram Building.

    Double-tunneling and centre-platforming the southern section of Orange (Vendôme to Sherbrooke or Mont-Royal) to create a trunk to share with an eventual “diagonal” line from Lachine to Mtl-Nord isn’t the dumbest idea ever... if only it weren’t for the existing pneumatic infra.

    Parabolas, eh?

    The Tampa Bay Rays have to move their HQ... 😉

    Ahhhh no doubt it’s for those connecting to the banned Easy Mile autonomous shuttles to the Ville-de-Mont-Royal REM station! 😁🤣🙄

    That said, the latest covered walkway rendering is a little odd: why would they go to all that trouble and *not* connect it directly to the De-La-Savane metro edicule?? Makes no sense to come down the stairs and go outside to walk maybe 20m to enter the edicule.
  17. SameGuy
    I did it in both directions, it takes around 8 minutes at a fairly brisk pace, and perhaps 20 at a leisurely stroll (or standing on the travelators enjoying the scenery).

    Thinking about the latest renderings and proposals, an enclosed pedestrian/active walkway from Métro De La Savane station to Royalmount isn’t far-fetched, tbh. Witness the Metrolink from the Dubai Mall station to the mall/Burj Khalifa — 820m long with 10 travelators 70-120m each. https://gulfnews.com/business/tourism/commuters-hail-metro-dubai-mall-walkway-1.1124122

    The number of filthy dump trucks stampeding onto Côte-de-Liesse with no regard for the flowing traffic is impressive too. I nearly got flattened on Thursday, and then a big, muddy rock got kicked up by a car ahead and chipped my windshield. 🙄

    Why does everybody, even supposed boffins, keep conflating mixed-traffic streetcars with grade-separated, modern tramways (aka light rail)?

    They finally knocked down the little house in front of the old Zellers distribution centre and cleared out several trees.

    Though “Anne” and “Marie” are still parked for at least a few more weeks, today the NouvLR crews had several voussoirs delivered to the base of the columns at Boul St-Charles. Not sure what’s going on...
  23. SameGuy
    It’s practically almost not even in SAdB! “Morgan” would’ve been more appropriate, as it’s the only actual waypoint close by. This station is truly in the middle of fricking nowhere. Come to think of it, the line should’ve crossed back over the 40 and the station put near something — anything — instead of encouraging sprawl on the edge of a large park. A station in the Baie-d’Urfé industrial park would make so much more sense.

    Alors c’est quoi exactement ce trou, déjà à 35m de profondeur et environ 20m de large? Il est situé directement au sud du parc-autos de l’aéroport, en ligne avec le trajet du REM. Je sais c’est pour creuser le gare en attendant l’arrivée du tunnelier (et en avance de la réconstruction du stationnement prévue d’ici 2025), mais c’est aussi pour retirer le tunnelier.

    Really curious how the downtown stations are so close together, McGill-500m-Central-500m-Griffintown-500m-(eventual infill)Bassin... while almost all others (except TMR stations and Sunnybrooke-Roxboro) have rather large gaps. Guessing it’s (relatively) trivial to add infill stations later on? Maybe someone schooled in this could comment. Would be interesting to see stations like À-Ma-Baie and Bassin added in the next ten years in areas that actually need them (unlike A40 and Des Sources Over the next decade).
