    Well, "maledizione" does mean "curse" or "bane" in Italian...

    La tour Velasco à Milan (ville de design)... @_@

    Je suis d'accord avec acpnc en ce qui concerne le Château Champlain lui-meme, mais le basilaire - particulièrement vue de l'intersection de Peel et Saint-Antoine - est épouvantable. Des murs immenses aux échelles monumentales, sans le moindre intérêt... Je persiste à croire qu'il serait impossible de animer ce tronçon de Peel sans modifier cette verrue urbaine. A l'autre côté de la rue, faut constater que la façade est de la gare Windsor - bien que belle - est également sans vie au niveau du trottoir... mais on ne peut pas la modifier sans compromettre ses qualités architecturales. Il faut trouver un moyen d'animer Peel pour toute sa longueur pour créer un vrai lien entre le centre-ville et Griffintown.

    I do remember Quebec's economy being rocked to its very core when Monkland Tavern had to add an "e" to its name. The horror. http://communiques.gouv.qc.ca/gouvqc/communiques/GPQF/Fevrier2013/20/c7282.html

    I should think that the Italian media has enough domestic governmental dysfunction to report on. Mark_ac, you should get over yourself - Quebec isn't unique in having government overreach, nor in having its sporadic foibles publicized in the foreign press. And Quebec doesn't have Silvio Berlusconi to contend with. ...our own demise Given a choice between "speak white" and OLF silliness, I'd opt for the latter.

    C'est quand meme pas si petit comme projet! On est bien chanceux d'être témoin de tous ces projets d'envergure. Merci Memphis!

    You're right But his crankly anglo fear-mongering is aggravating.

    Psssh. What a crock of shit. The Gazoo is a notch above the Suburban in terms of journalistic integrity - competence, actually - and editorial vision*. (Not that La Presse isn't racing to the bottom, either.**) Henry Aubin is especially myopic in his West Island bunker mentality and backwards urban thinking. Here's a gem: Okay, asshole. Why would one take the word of a study based on empirical observation when you could rely on your gut hunch? Wouldn't want too much wind or shadow, otherwise our downtown might be as uninhabitable as, say, midtown Manhattan. Jackass. I wish Quebec would separate if only to shut people like him up. P.S.: I'd sure like to hear Henry Aubin explain how he can reconcile having a column in a newspaper with his being a complete hack. *Except for Andy Riga, who handles their metropolitan/transportation blog. I like him! **Le Devoir is really the only decent daily, and its site is behind a paywall.

    L'effet escalier serait sera génial comme lien entre le CCE et le 1250. Vraiment cool.
  16. gars du new jersey
    How are generic window-wall/spandrel surfaces any more high-end than a proper exterior wall (innately more suitable for a cold climate)? Does anyone have a desire to see CityPlace - or any number of generic Toronto green-glass blobs - transplanted to Montreal?

    Faut maintenant remplacer cette boîte de merde avec quelque chose plus de urbain! :-0
  19. gars du new jersey
    ^_________^ Méchante bonne nouvelle! Un petit bémol cependant: les deux ilots délimités par Duke/St. Maurice/St. Henri/William sont si gros - tellement "superblock" - qu'on devrait privilégier un lotissement des terrains pour faciliter un développement plus organique, plus urbain. J'aurais aimé voir les deux ilots couper en deux ou trois par Queen et/ou Prince, aussi. On peut rêver.
  20. gars du new jersey
    Yeah, I agree with the concepts, but un peu de moderation SVP. I mean, remove the Metropolitain? By and large, it was built on fringe brownfield/agricultural land. Virtually all the development around it is predicated on there being a limited-access east-west highway there. It's not like it sliced through a coherent, preexisting urban area; Or, in the case of Centre Rockland and all the peripheral development it engendered, they're located where they are because it's where autoroute laurentienne came into town. You're not going to remake cremazie into las ramblas. There's no point. There's no effective way to serve that sprawl with mass transit - select nodes like Chabanel, maybe Marche Centrale, okay - but as a whole, no. It's not the canal ring of Amsterdam, it's not Venice... there's gotta be some realism and focus. And, lacking any other East-West expressway, how do you serve the St. Laurent industrial parks, northern airport hangers, etc., etc.?

    Come on, man. I've lurked on this forum for god knows how long, and I rarely feel compelled to post, but seriously, I feel like I'm listening to someone who just read Death and Life of Great American Cities for the first time and feels compelled to proselytize to everyone about this really great book I read and who is regurgitating in the most sophomoric manner possible the general outlines of Urbanism 101 to people who just don't understand. I mean, christ, do we need to hear about induced demand in every goddam thread? I need a bayonet to fall on, or something. I'm sorry, I meant: Curitiba, William Whyte, TOD, congestion pricing, vancouverism, Robert Moses, Grandma Moses, edge city, satellite city, ville radieuse, le corbu, mies, richy florida, public housing, rent control, towers-in-a-park, public space, desire paths, tramways, streetcars, streetcars named desire, midibus, trains legers, lourds, etc., woonerf, wooneuf, woodix, etc., mixité urbane AND AMSTERDAM. BOOM. Did I win the argument?

    For those that aren't always enamoured with cyclists, you might get a chuckle out of this:

    Ah, yes, Linden-Express, the lost station of the Montreal Metro. I like the Univers Condensed font.
