There is nothing wrong with condos and rentals right alongside rapid transit lines, whether the buildings were there before the line, or densification began after the line was established. Vancouver is a more vertical city than Montreal, but there will come a day when areas like Fairview and Panama and Kirkland might look like this, and it’s a future I’m hoping happens. This video is from Metro Vancouver’s SkyTrain approaching Brentwood Station in Burnaby, one of many rapidly changing station areas in the region. The new development at the end is where a mall parking lot used to be.

Mais est-ce que quelqu'un a dit que ça ne fonctionnerait pas?

Des trams ça fonctionne n'importe où, c'est pas vraiment ça le problème que la Caisse souhaite résoudre.

Note: Les couleurs sont identiques au REM !

Please. Those poles and wire all over the street would be horrible. I prefer a solid free-standing structure, on which the metro can go faster than 20km/h.

$3 billion for a 9 km tram in a city like Hamilton — before you start, I know Hamilton like the back of my hand — is the definition of insanity.

Because of the hefty price tag, or for another reason?

You are most certainly aware that Hamilton is kind of becoming a far-flung suburb of Toronto: do you think it makes a difference in the form of intra-Hamilton public transit requirements?

Yes I am aware having lived in Toronto --  and Pointe aux Trembles is still a distant suburb to our downtown. A nicely designed tram from P aux T  along Sherbrooke, Notre Dame, R-L and onto  to  Atwater and then onto  Lachine could be a beautiful   "cross town"  public transportation  line, with a North South tram  from Montreal North -      that would  bind the Island of Montreal as never before    as the Metro did in 1966 for the city of Montreal.  And could do so in 5-6 years not 10 or most likely  never as REM Est is -- a neverendum debate  for a project that won't even show the population their secret  design for what  of the damage to R-L  would look like and hold "consultations" with that hidden secret--  and  that  we all know now,  goes nowhere.

[geraldshaw]

There needs to be an investigation and forensic audit  by the Auditor General of Quebec of  Caisse-Infra regarding REM-Est and other projects that are being kept secret from the public.   Caisse Infra managers  are squandering millions of dollars of  our pension savings to fund the REM-Est  project and now announce a pretense of consultation,  while keeping  secret the drawings  away from Quebecers  -- drawings  of the scars that REM Est  will cause across the city. This is outrageous. Top  management of  Caisse-Infra should resign. Caisse  Directors should be called out  by the public as to their  lack of oversight of REM-Est. The very idea of keeping secret  drawings that Caisse-Infra  knows full well will kill  the project while concurrently driving on spending/wasting millions of dollars of our pension money needs the Auditor General's immediate attention and several resignations and sackings at the Caisse.

I've mentioned the Tokyo metro a few times. Here's a brand new video by B1M which provides a quick overview of the Tokyo Metro.

La carte qu'ils ont fourni permet de déduire assez facilement la localisation précise.
