One of our…?

Encore une autre superbe vidéo, Martin @ProposMontréal. Tu es un bon professeur et présentateur! Merci.

Ok I see it (I hadn’t seen the maquette before). Thanks.

Les broches entre le basilaire et l’Espresso servent à quoi, exactement? Or is that a new wall?

Merci bien. Je vais jeter un coup d’oeil sur quelques petits sites du West Island durant la semaine.

Did most sites reopen last Tuesday, or are they opening tomorrow?

Exactly, hence relatively versus comparativement. Comparatively, there is a similar number of vaccinated individuals in QC hospital as unvaccinated; relatively, the percentage of those vaccinated who are in QC hospitals is significantly lower than the percentage of those who remain unvaccinated. 😉

They can also be relatively expensive. My second home of Brisbane has been building “active transport” bridges since the late 90s, and currently offers three ”green” crossings in the inner core, with four more in the works, along with three combined active-mass transit crossings (no road vehicles). One of active-only bridges, the Neville Bonner Bridge connecting the under-construction, $3.6B Queens Wharf development to the South Bank cultural complex, is expected to cost $100M.

Ok perfect merci!

I was thinking more about crossings of the Back River, des-Mille-Îles, and Lac-des-Deux-Montagnes, which I don’t think are considered part of the fleuve St-Laurent.

Excellent topic! Est-ce qu'on se concentre uniquement sur le fleuve, ou peut-on aussi discuter d'autres points de passage autour de l'île qui n'ont pas encore de fils dédiés?

Glace. Grâce à l'utilisation omniprésente du charbon et du mazout, la ville était toujours recouverte de suie, et la neige et la glace n'étaient jamais “blanches”.

I’ve never seen a good explanation of why this tunnel was retired. Too costly to maintain some 35 years after the Seaway opened (and a low-clearance road bridge could be cheaply built)? Or was flooding in 87 and 93 the last straw?

Lol ok thanks for educating without snark 😏

Amtrak has come to an agreement with CP Rail that will eventually allow passenger trains to resume cross-border service via the Windsor rail tunnel for the first time in more than 50 years.

A link would be nice, just a thought.

Lol “rigueur” — there isn’t any precise information online. Most sites, including Smuckers’, say something like, “After Ogilvie acquired Lake of the Woods Milling in 1954, the sign was changed to their most popular brand Five Roses.” I wasn’t alive in 1963 to witness it.

Earlier than that; “Ogilvie” changed to “Five Roses” in the early to mid fifties.

Maybe they should let the Japanese plan and operate it…

It’s more a matter of the slightly a regular schedule of the ships; the Diversion would add an ever so slight delay to rapid transit schedules. Perhaps nothing to be concerned about as a rider, but it would be cumbersome for scheduling and automation.

The only issue is that trains must take the St Lambert Diversion when a boat is passing the main span on the Seaway below. This makes maintaining a true rapid transit system on a tight schedule impractical, and full automation (like REM) would be almost infeasible.

Lol some days I wish I had a crane to lift my arm

My split-level with basement and garage is four floors? Cool.

Wait until you see Kirkland station.
