griffintown Station Griffintown – Bernard-Landry - Discussion

[BLM.tank]

No wonder this station is 2023. Nothing really seems to be happening. The dream would be that they built it quickly (they always used to say it would be sooo quick since it was above ground) so they can finally build that park and let that area breathe. Also, unrelated - it seems weird the city rebuilt the sidewalks of Ottawa west of Rue de la montagne Only to have construction already damaging it and replacing it with asphalt when streets like Shannon south of Ottawa look like a street in Syria.. Anyway - sorry for digressing. Bon vendredi mes amis ❤️

C'est à l'intérieur du bâtiment que l'essentiel des travaux devrait se faire. C'est peut-être normal que ça ne paraisse pas tout de suite. Par ailleurs, les contrats avec Dépotium amènent sûrement leur lot de contraintes.

Ceci dit, les fenêtres, ça fait vraiment bien. Il en faudrait partout !

Nothing seems to be happening? They have removed all tracks on the REM side, they have cleared the soil up till the structure, staircases have been installed for workers, multiple machinerie is on the site. Jesus, I wonder how fast some people want this to be built. Magic wand?

À confirmer, mais j'imagine que nouveLR attend que la ville finisse ses travaux sur le bassin de rétention.

Magic? No. Coordination? Yes. I suppose delays and long extended breaks between phases may be something you're used to and perhaps I should to as I adopt this city. But it's been over a week and nothing has moved. I cannot tell you the amount of times they have dug up Peel, Ottawa, closed William, etc.. It just seems like they can coordinate work alot better. In a city with intense winters, making use of warmer weather as much as they can seems logical. They removed all the trees and closed off the street on Smith seasons ago and nothing happened there. My idea is that it would make sense if they coordinated all their work so that as one phase finished, the next started. Less road closures, less rental of equipment, less money on security - overall reduction of inconvenience to residents and costs to taxpayers. As I said, maybe I'm just not used to how they dig up a street and leave the site for months, or start an infrastructure project, close roads and leave it unworked for months.. And perhaps I should get used to it. As they say, when in Rome...

On dirait qu’il ont refait la dalle qui supportera le quai nord (la partie grise pâle). Ils polissaient, mercredi.

Sur le bord du viaduc, ou il y a tous les équipements sur la photo plus haut. Le quai direction sud sera "à l'extérieur" du viaduc, donc dans le vide en ce moment (du moins c'est ce que le rendu semble montrer)

Ok Merci Je vois
