    If only.

    Meh. I’ll open my atlas and tell people I’ve been everywhere. 🙄

    What’s the difference between WebCams and stock photos from a real estate app?

    Suis-je p-ê le seul qui aprécie aussi le look rétro du spandrel argenté?

    I think CWR on the two mainline tracks would make a significant reduction in whatever noise and vibration Rocco felt. But at higher cost, yes, sleeper pads could be installed, or a complete slab track system retrofitted as on the REM side.

    I went to Selwyn House with him a lifetime ago. He was a great student (I was not 😂), and there wasn’t a single member of the school who didn’t like him.

    Is Tarek still the head of trauma?

    Agree. Now imagine evicting Dépotium and repurposing the arcades and interior spaces of the viaduct. https://www.andrewhunterbrown.ca/3024414-re-viaduct http://spacing.ca/montreal/2008/03/09/under-the-bridge-creative-use-of-space/

    REM de l'Est

    SameGuy a répondu à un sujet de mtlurb dans Projets Annulés

    D’accord, mais il faudrait toujours regler l’enjeu des fréquences sur le tronçon centrale, par exemple en convertissant la branche de l’aéroport en navette. ETA: ah siht, never mind, je viens d’apercevoir le “-B”!

    Excellent idea! And then we can build a two-level tunnel between Le Vieux and Le Vieux with two lanes for cars two for Tesla Ubers.

    They already had an Urbanism Plan in place, which took the REM into account and absolutely envisioned a large TOD at Fairview. The new mayor has sent that plan to the shredder.

    It seems reasonable that the next version of the piste polyvalente should also offer viewing terrace points like the one on the SdC bridge, for precisely those reasons. Also, not everyone is Bernard Hinault, so such rest areas would be welcome. Other active-transport crossings elsewhere in the world even offer refreshment stands and espresso bars at their mid-span rest areas; we have so much catching up to do!

    REM de l'Est

    SameGuy a répondu à un sujet de mtlurb dans Projets Annulés

    To be fair, the “private” for-profit transit corporations that operate under the auspices of a public transit authority — using Tokyo as a prominent example — are usually made up of various municipal and government entities. But unlike the case of CDPQi, these for-profit entities do not make requests nor decisions; the governing transit bureau decides what is needed and how to fund it, then contracts the transit companies to build the projects. So you’re saying we shouldn’t endeavour to change.

    REM de l'Est

    SameGuy a répondu à un sujet de mtlurb dans Projets Annulés

    So, you’re in favour of authoritarianism, eh? I hate to break it to you, but all that money — provincial, federal, municipal, or Caisse — is the People’s money. “We” need to decide, not some paleoconservative isolationist from Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue.

    REM de l'Est

    SameGuy a répondu à un sujet de mtlurb dans Projets Annulés

    Yeah yeah yeah meanwhile ask the people of Tokyo or Singapore what it’s like to have a real transit bureau that makes decisions on what to build where and how, and see how little they value having such unsuccessful “structures.” 🙄

    REM de l'Est

    SameGuy a répondu à un sujet de mtlurb dans Projets Annulés

    I think we’ve discussed before, this métropolis doesn’t have — and desperately needs — a transit authority.

    10 minutes just to transfer at Berri. Add another eight waiting for the train to leave. Another five for the trip. It’s almost faster to walk today's route via the end of the bridge.
  19. SameGuy
    @p_xavier was being sarcastic in response to my comments about using smaller modes. 😉
  20. SameGuy
    The premise of the extension supposes a significant ridership increase. Again, I don’t see them spending a ton to retrofit the 73s for CBTC only to retire them within less than a decade of the extension’s entry into service.
  21. SameGuy
    Lol I chuckled. But as they plan to modernize the signalling to CBTC along the entire Blue line, and only the Azurs are easily upgraded to CBTC (I think I read somewhere that they’re CBTC-ready but the hardware isn’t installed)… I can’t imagine they’d build and dismantle the open-gangway Azur train sets from six to nine cars and back to six again on a regular basis, while wasting valuable garage space with immobilized trailer segments.
  22. SameGuy
    I imagine the rest would be completed along with the extension.
  23. SameGuy
    That’s the Glasgow Subway, aka “Clockwork Orange.” 😉
  24. SameGuy
    Mind the gap
  25. SameGuy
    Oh cmon now. One minute we’re begging for a better connection and a wider escalator and now we’re bitching about who gets views and daylight? Is this SNL? John Oliver?
