ADM - Stationnement étagé Albert-de-Niverville (P4)


Recommended Posts

I'm curious to see if it will actually smoothen out the traffic jams on the highway fly-over.
Since traffic can then split off faster from the traffic to departures/arrivals to the Cardinal exit.

If I'd dream a bit more, I'd imagine (directly after the exit towards Cardinal Av) another exit on the left-hand side that will be a fly-over bridge over Boul Roméo-Vachon S and having an entrance on a higher floor to spread the load from the Albert-de-Navierville intersection.

Either that, or another dedicated highway fly-over somewhere around Bd Fénelon, but we all know that that will never see the light of day.

Today, on my way to the airport, I took Dorval roundabout towards Michel Jasmin Av. I was able to skip the traffic and it took me only 15 min to reach departures. But I am afraid soon it will become popular an the traffic will move there.

What I noticed bothers me more. The traffic on the departure ramp was mostly because half of the cars there were waiting for pick-up passengers from arrivals and were blocking the spots to drop-off. They were waiting for 10-15-20 minutes and the security didn't pay attention at all. Some of the cars were even parked with no driver. I was so frustrated because I lost the 20 min, I saved earlier 

It is time YUL administration to put the traffic in order. This chaos should stop.

Most of the waiting cars, especially those unattended, are gypsy cabs and Ubers, trying to snag travelers out of the queues (or before they even reach them).

There should be a dedicated ride-share area, like a lot of other airports do.

Security in the pick-up / drop-off areas is a mess indeed. Spotted a Home Depot rental van with Hassidic people picking up other community members...... in the area for the parking-lot shuttles.

As long as security allows people to get away with anything, they will.

Just flew to LAX last night out of YUL at peak time arriving at the airport around 3:30PM.  What a mess to even get close to the terminal!  And once you see the tiny 2-lane ramp it's pretty embarrassing.  

The two pedestrian cross-walks at ramp level are big part of the problem.   They should be above the ramp (second floor of terminal) but until a new parking structure and enlarged ramp this will not be possible.  In the interim, they should lose them completely and for the short/medium term, only have the cross-walks on the arrivals level at grade.  

Also, totally agree that a taxi, uber/lyft lot should be created with just a shuttle bus circling the terminal for passengers.
