Don’t get your hopes up. The province will never cede power to the city ever again. If they do that, Dollarama Homeless’ statements from this campaign will become reality and the regions will lose control of the economic engine of Québec. Nah gone happen.
Oh I have no doubt either, I’m just saying that whoever threw together this article based on unconfirmed information didn’t even bother to mention REM.
CLC still owns the land and neither Claridge nor Devimco have any advantage at this point. A joint venture to build a whole new precinct with the stadium and entertainment as its focus (à la South Beach/Mission Bay in San Francisco, or Navy Yard in DC) would be the best possible development for the Bridge-Wellington area.
Looking at it, that’s a very crude illustration that somebody likely threw together in MS Paint just before publication. None of that picture makes much sense at all.
Maybe Martin could post some more of those sad photos of families about to be evicted (and whose homes would be soon destroyed) in the implementation of the “visionary” mayor’s grandiose plans for expressways and parking lots…

It looks like the permanent guardrails are being installed, from Boul. St-Charles towards the west. Interesting. We’ve not had any detail about this in any of the artists’ renderings before.
I’ve been saying this since the initial announcement was floated. It’s a $10+ billion automated people mover. The more you look at the facts (instead of the fantasies), the more ridiculous the idea seems.
Yes indeed. The parents of one of my besties were going to sell their Westmount house and were looking at the Sir George Simpson, but held off and are likely going to sign for a mid-level at Le Sherbrooke.
CF also has vast holdings outside of city centres across the continent, many of which are being (or planned to be) redeveloped much more profitably than the typical 120m condo plot. They can comfortably sit on the 600/750 properties while exploiting all their shopping centres along the Trans Canada Highway.
Teachers are smart.
