Too much white!

Is that a brand new Turcot Interchange I saw in the video?
-
I think of Olympic Stadium as an enormous piece of urban sculpture. It is quite impressive at night when it is illuminated. Maybe Montreal can get grants from the Arts Council to replace the roof! LOL

Will 900 de Maisonneuve Ouest be an L shaped building that will wrap around the hotel or will there still be an unbuilt parking lot along Mansfield? Any word on 900 de Maisonneuve Ouest?

As an American, I see the monarchy as "quaint". Canada has evolved slowly from a colony to an independent country. Confederation in 1867 was merely a formality. Canada was still a virtual colony of Britain: British citizenship and passports, no embassies or consulates etc. This lasted well into the 20th century. It seems that Britain was letting Canada pretend to be a country for a long time after Confederation. If the USA had not been anti-Catholic in 1776, Québec may have joined in the Revolution and could be an independent French speaking country today! OR, Quebec could be just another English speaking state with a lot of French ethnics living there.

ville-marie Square Dorchester et Place du Canada: réaménagement
TomOfBoston a répondu à un sujet de Hercule dans Infrastructures
That was another thing that was better in the 1970's: the sidewalks of St. Catherine Street were packed with shoppers, before everyone went underground. -

WOW! Fantastic! -
Before expanding though, build up the remaining parking lots downtown!

Je crois que la grue est pour le nouvel édifice au MNI.

The Guy Metro building looks awful in that picture. Any word of the status of the plans to reclad it to match the new buildings?
-
More likely the Royal Vic be be transferred to McGill and the Neuro. Any sttempt to sell the complex to private developers would be met with a firestorm of protest from a variety of sectors. By the way, the Neuro was supposed to move to the former Montreal General complex. Pretty sure it will be remaining in its entirety on University Street.

The Bonaventure was originally a Westin, or Western International as it was kmown back in the 1960's.

Aboilishing pre-university CEGEP programs would create a facilities crisis for the universities. They can't just increase enrolment by 25%. Would McGill take over the John Abbott campus or UQAM take over CEGEP du Vieux-Montréal? This would provoke a huge shake up in university planning in Québec that the government doesn't want to deal with. Good idea but...... Same for secondary schools.
-
I thought it was just the English CEGEP's that were overflowing. So this is a capacity problem for both sectors. How about Québec creating a new fully bilingual CEGEP in Montreal?

Terre-Neuve songe à des sanctions

I guess Danny Williams heart surgery went well and he has recovered. The operation could not be done anywhere in Canada. Only a hospital in Miami, FL had the expertise. He then spent several months in Florida recovering. How convenient!!!! And all at taxpayers' expense. -
Hopefully the old lamps will be reused elsewhere and not trashed.

Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal (agrandissement) - 40M$ (2011)
TomOfBoston a répondu à un sujet de mtlurb dans Complétés
Only in Montreal! Wonderful! -
Now, if they would just build out the rest of that block to hide the blank walls!
-
Well, I guess it is easier to rehash the 40 year old language war than to deal with Montreal'e real problems: Race riot in Montreal Nord, near race riot in the metro on Boxing Day, high school drop out rates, Muslim assimilation etc etc etc

Place du SPECTRUM / Complexe SIDEV - 26 étages (2011)

Hôtel de Ville, peut-être? -
Why is the Guy-Concordia station so bland/ugly. Even when it was new, it was the blandest station in the system. Did they anticipate water leakage and just say make it plain and to hell with the water?
-
Let's just build it! No more revisions or delays! What about the new buildings and additions to the Montreal General? Are they still to be built or will they just renovate the existing MGH complex? The MUHC website no longer shows the expanded MGH image.

I always felt that area reminded me of Vladivostok on a bad day. Not that Vladivostok ever has any good days.

«Le Québec a mal à ses universités»
TomOfBoston a répondu à un sujet de ErickMontreal dans L'actualité
Private university tuition in the USA is about $38,000/year. To use Boston University as an example. The cost of an undergraduate education there is $25,000/year. Thus the university charges a "premium" of $13,000/year. 25% of students are able to pay the $38,000, or at least their parents pay it without any financial aid. The extra $13,000/year that these rich families pay is then used to provide "scholarships" or "tuition discounts" for lower income students!!!! Classic socialism! The rich are subsidizing the not so rich and the poor. Add to this federal and state grants to the students (not the universities). This is how Americans deal with private higher education.
