C'est ainsi que cela a fonctionné chaque fois que je suis resté dans un tour à condo en Australie et en Amérique du Sud. L'hôte m’indique l'emplacement d'une boîte à clés et me donne un code d'accès à usage unique pour déverrouiller la boîte et récupérer les clés (et des fois le package de bienvenue). Au moment du départ, je laisse simplement les clés dans la même boîte. Une fois à Surfer’s Paradise, l’hôte m’a même laissé sa carte d’escomptes d’employés pour le “bottle shop” (liquor store) dans la basilaire de la tour!

I like your optimism. Je partage ton avis et j'espère moi même que tout se passera bien.

“Up to 90” is great, but their own site says full speed will regularly be 100 on the SdC and in the West Island. The segments From Panama to Brossard aren’t ideal for top speed testing. I’m not saying they should hurry up their testing protocol, I’m just pointing out that there are many tests yet to be done — including stops at stations and timing the screen doors, along with full tests of trains with nobody aboard — and the segment from Central Station to Brossard remains largely incomplete. Pretty difficult to test the system when it’s unavailable. So one of two scenarios will evolve: testing will be rushed (and perhaps with deleterious effects) to open by the end of the now-promised “spring-summer 2022” timeframe, or the timeframe will be pushed out further.

Honestly it’s the posts that are ugly and massive. Are they using recycled girders from the decommissioned Champlain Bridge?

I don’t believe they’ve done many “driverless” tests at operating speeds, nor any tests at full speed, nor any with four cars. No catenaries on the bridge, incomplete through PSC, a gap to be bridged near Bridge… yeah it’s not opening before the end of next year.

Either that, or the feds saw the mess between the lanes in Brossard and put the kibosh on the same being installed on their bridge… 🤔

Lmao ok

Anyway, back to 900, rue St-Jacques: how many more underground levels? Any guesses? This foundation seems to be quite a massive anchor for such a skinny tower.

Ce n’est pas un downvote, mais un émoticon “déçu” (qui ne vaut zéro).

Hah true

Oh cool, I hadn’t seen the finished panels fully installed. Surprised that the Google Maps car has been by there in the past few months.

Bien observé! Merci encore pour tes interventions, et les commentaires équilibrés. Indubitablement. 😜

The film being projected on that screen was shot before the Synergy cranes went up lol

Good points, thanks. 🙂

Autostade was such a great place for football. Cold af, but fun.

I mean, Mississauga has the tallest skyline of any suburb in North America. Do we have anything like this? Absolute World tower 1 would be the sixth tallest building in Montreal.

Hey I’m no fan of Toronto, but before this most recent Montreal building boom, even North York had a taller and more impressive downtown than we did. Lol

Right. I think it’ll suck a bit for the houses closest to the huge structures in Kirkland and Roxboro, but for the most part it’s just a necessary transit infrastructure. Those same people in Kirkland chose to live right next to the 40, which is certainly no work of art.

I’ve read this three times. I’m not confused. You’ve described the exo1 ROW, but with a low-capacity, low-floor tram running long distances between stations instead of a modern regional train. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ah ok. C’était moi confus par “L'emprise ferroviaire près de l'autoroute 20 en direction de Lachine”.

Except that personne n’habite près de cette emprise entre Ronald et Thorncrest à Dorval; c’est une emprise parfaite pour un train de banlieue.

Thanks for the links-back! Yes, I wish I knew more about the process, but from what I’m able to gather, each span is tensioned individually and then simply tied to the next; the resulting beam is made up of 9-11 voussoirs tensioned together and resting atop the column saddles. As such, there remains a noticeable gap between each span.

Perfecto 😁
