Absolutely

10 levels beyond the atrium. It’s proceeding even quicker than I expected. Another ~12 plus the crown?

Je n'aurais pas pu mieux l'exprimer si j'avais essayé.

Isn’t that the surficial soil layer? How deep is the soil layer (south)west of the tunnel’s end?

There’s an emergency access at the corner of QM and Dufferin, roughly 700 m past the southwest portal of the station. I do not know how far past this point the tail tunnel continues.

I just realized that the map which is the focus of this thread doesn’t highlight suburban or regional rail at all, yet it shows a seemingly impossible RER-/S-Bahn-style through-tunnel that bridges Vendôme (and possibly Atwater Métro) with Centrale, and abandons Lucien-L’Allier. FWIW, I think with EMU service on exo1 running shorter, more frequent trains, an Atwater station is viable.

@FrancSoisD This was a serious question (if asked a bit impertinently). The bedrock on this flank of Mt. Royal is a similar igneous gabbro to that which was tunnelled by the Mount Royal Tunnel & Terminal Company more than a century ago for the Two Mountains line.

This is in the “Visions” subforum; please address “facts” in the other forums.

La première fois que j’entend cela. 100 % d'accord avec toi (mais je dirais que le plan LÉEO est le meilleur pour réaménager la stroad Taschereau en boulevard urbain à l’échelle humaine).

Et depuis quand la présence de “roche” empêche-t-elle le creusement de tunnels?

My original post, to which you responded — and which you continue to only partially address, and thus mischaracterize: Ideal scenario. We won’t reach the ideal. That is all. See above.

You and I have vastly different ideas of what an integrated transit system looks like. If you have to leave a station to get to another station, they are segregated networks, not integrated.

Lol you missed the point. “B” — as proposed, even the most recent suggestion with the mini-tunnel — will not be integrated at Centrale. And be honest, Bonaventure will be no better integrated with this new “metro” system than it is with exo already, ie: a pain in the ass. I very purposely said “fluid”.

I think in an ideal scenario, REMs A and B would be fully integrated at Gare Centrale (“Robert-Bourassa” above?) with a fluid connection to Bonaventure on the Orange line; as currently planned and proposed, neither of those will happen.

Good point.

I have no dry vices…

Peut-être une version maritime de l'ancienne Via Sacra qui s'étendait de la colline du Capitole au Colisée de Rome, avec une colonnade de statues et sculptures honorant nos héros et nos triomphes.

T’inquiète pas, ça va être plâtré de “chefs-d'œuvre” assez vite, tout comme le prototype l’était à Berlin. 🤦🏻‍♂️

U-Bahn? 🚇🤔

…à moins que les balcons (loggias, etc) soient aussi mal finis que dans GFT…

Well that’s not fair, you’re highlighting the area where the STM thugs cops routinely beat up on homeless people. Naturally it wears out quicker!

L'ajout d'une plate-forme et d'une troisième voie à Bois-Franc est faisable, ce qui pourrait permettre au segment Aéroport de fonctionner comme navette. Cela permettrait aux autres segments de l'Ouest-de-l'Île d'offrir un service plus fréquent, ou à un segment de Laval d'opérer sans limiter les fréquences dans l'Ouest-de-l'Île. Cela dit, je pense toujours que l'ajout d'une autre branche du REM-A pour desservir Laval est une idée inférieure à celle du prolongement du tronçon ouest de la ligne Orange.

Lol the diaper on the floor to soak up the oozing slime

It is! Along with the bike paths on Donegani and Cardinal below!
