https://montrealgazette.com/news/local-news/rem-trains-to-start-rolling-west-and-north-in-fall-of-2025 The Anse-à-l’Orme and Deux-Montagnes branches now set to open fall of 2025. To reach there, there will be weeks of full weekend closures and some early night closures for testing. Then, there...

Atwater Station Southern entrance is closing all winter in response to high homelessness/drug use incidents. https://www.lapresse.ca/actualites/grand-montreal/2024-11-12/problemes-de-consommation-et-d-intimidation/la-stm-ferme-un-edicule-du-metro-atwater-pour-l-hiver.php

I recommend you go back and read the last 500-1000 pages of this thread. I have read your arguments at least four different ways. People posted insightful things. It's worth a read. ( At least, read the last 100, which is what I did when I joined a couple of years ago) It will touch on every...

Just a sanity check. Which part of the route has this grade separation/tunnel? I though the whole route was at the street level.

Two REM trains malfunctioned "at precisely the same spot" at Central Station, causing a two-hour shutdown of that station. https://montrealgazette.com/news/local-news/two-rem-trains-hit-system-failure-at-central-station-causing-partial-line-shutdown

I'd appreciate it if someone could educate me. Why did 66 Wellesley Street East lose at the OMB when they are normally okay with height? I thought they usually ignored protected city character areas and focused more on meeting provincial density guidelines. That one is a few steps from a subway...

You made a similar post in multiple threads. It is not great getting notified for spam. Maybe keep these random TTC talk to TTC: Other Items. And only post about it once.

What are these "platform level" and transit at the base of the middle block? Are they invisioning a new GO station underneath? edit: I just remembered Spadina-Front GO station. This might heavily affect Metrolinx. I wonder what their opinion on the project.

Your idea of balance is that it is acceptable for a small amount of people to die per year to shave minutes off your commute. Got it. 🤣 We don't want balance. We want to keep people from getting maimed or killed while biking.

I see some corners of Cabbagetown seeing little vehicular use. We should rip the roads as it is a waste of money. Replace it with lava or something. More natural. But some residents will want to drive in and out of their homes, you say? Well, I say these residents don't need to drive. So they...

Recent news: STM cancels their platform screen door project, citing lack of funding. (Confusingly the province says they would have paid for it) https://montreal.ctvnews.ca/despite-continued-pleas-from-coroners-stm-not-proceeding-with-platform-screen-doors-on-the-metro-any-time-soon-1.7011343...

It is a very cool Pokemon card shop. I go to the food court multiple times a week, and the place always has 5-20 people inside playing. Good vibes it seems https://maps.app.goo.gl/MM1niZ4ixoH1S1Ta9

1 year since the first segment of the REM opened. https://rem.info/en/news/rem-first-birthday Article doesn't say much. Just acknowledges the first few months had "challenges"

They are working as of 2 seconds ago. Earlier they were moving things using the crane.

I biked 135.93km yesterday. Just because my lycra-wearing butt can handle the chaos of the current road designs, doesn't mean that kids and other less experienced users should not be protected. Safe bike infra is meant to keep people safe. A stopped UPS truck that causes a list to veer, of...

That's a huge jump in logic, assuming the equipment was unpermited. The construction, if I remember, was for the new upgraded westbound bike lane!

Isn't that where construction is currently closing off the bike lane going further west? I remember needing to bike using the freshly built eastbound bike line a few weeks ago to continue going west. (by going the wrong way)

Or... People can read the business case report. 600 people per 4-car train is technically true. If I remember correctly, Metrolinx is going launch the line with the "Refined Operating Concept" that has shorter 80m trains and up to 34 trains/h. But the line will be built to handle 40 5-car...

The Ontario Line vehicles will not be designed to work in contexts that include cars. That in itself will exclude it from being an "LRT" in the common American/Canadian sense or a Stadtbahn in the German sense. Just because they have pantographs does not make it a Stadtbahn. The REM and...
