If so,  then surely  you will agree that  the  drawings by the Caisse Infra just above of "trace ariens dans le terre-plein central" on Rene-Levesque, Notre Dame and Sherbrooke  also have "ZERO" to do with this topic. Go figure. 

I would like the REM Information sessions to show how the projects with above ground lines are designed to mitigate risks due to earthquakes. Of Canada's largest cities, most Montrealers do not know that we are #2 in Canada Vancouver is #1 for earthquake damage risk.

Well, if we are so much at risk of earthquakes, maybe we shound't have an underground metro at all.  Maybe we shouldn't built any tall buildings.  In fact, maybe we should just move the entire city in a less dangerous zone...

Allons-y pour des calèches tractées par des chevaux alors, tant qu’à être paranoïaque à ce point. 

Faudrait aussi avertir immédiatement les citoyens de San Francisco et de Los Angeles de cesser d’utiliser leur métro.

C'est un risque à prendre en compte, évidemment, mais rien qui devrait nous inquiéter. Le dernier gros séisme a eu lieu en 1732 avec une magnitude de 5,8. On devrait s'en sortir ben, ben correcte.

Tunnels are actually safer then viaducts during earthquakes. This was one of the arguments used to make the case for replacing the Alaskan Way Viaduct with a tunnel.

Dear Mr. Gerald Shaw,

It's not the 'amount' of earthquakes that matter it's the intensity on the Richter scale that matters. It is a logarithmic scale, so our little 3.0's and 4.0's are meaningless. The highest ever recorded in Montreal was 5.8 in 1832, which still wouldn't pose much of a risk to any elevated metro structure built in a 1st world country.

Everyone would prefer the line to be underground, it's just not feasible. Give it up.
