Update, they removed the convoy of trailer offices and employees toilets next to the station and are seemingly replanting the grass

P.S. ignore the entire parking lot being used, Fairview had paid parking for the golf course
Does not seem to be covered just looks like wider platforms than what’s in the southern shore

Brossard doesn’t even have walls for berths but Panama does
Brossard has walls in the wings, there are some gaps however:
They’re 100% covered, they just have openings at the Quai’s like Brossard does in the images above. Everything across the REM is copy and paste so it’s easy to know how it’ll look

They got the leftovers from Panama and ran out of money I guess

Pointe-Claire set into law there 2025-2026-2027 CIP(Capital investment program) in today’s extraordinary Council meeting and in it they have plans for The Alston Highway 40 overpass. This overpass is a multifunctional bike and pedestrian overpass connecting Alston Avenue and service Road of Highway 40 to service Road of Highway 40 and Fairview Avenue I cannot confirm if it’s for 2025 or 2026 yet I have sent a request for the entire document to the city.
Part of what I understood was that the funding will be in part Point-Clare City, Montreal, agglomeration and mtq.

Yep, this is just the formalities being set into stone with the bi-laws, now we just near the city of Montreal to not flat out refuse to use some of its aglo money on something not for its self

I don’t see Projet Montréal administration refusing a project that has active transportation at its heart.

It’s not in the city of Montreal that’s the difference

Avez-vous des données qui supportent l’idée que les villes liées ne reçoivent pas les services proportionnels à leur contribution fiscale dans l’agglomération? Ou ça relève de la perception?

The West Island should get a joined infrastructure package, not city by city
Oui, comme ça les villes défusionnées pourraient se chicaner entres elles sur l’attribution, plutôt qu’au niveau de l’agglomération

Une passerelle aiderait à mettre les arrêts de bus du bon bord pour Beaconsfield et Dorval en plus de P-C
It’s a lot of past experiences:
The REV is payed by the aglo, only in the city of mtl
The SRB Pi-ix is payed by the aglo only serves the city of mtl (Laval part excluded)
The Henry Bourassa project (payed by the aglo) refuse to continue onto hymus boul even tho hb and hymus is the same road but diff names due to dif municipality
while the city of mtl has outright refused the Cavendish Cavendish project for CSL multiple times
another recent example the city of mtl refuses to acknowledge the request to add Saint jean boul to the pmad as a mobility corridor for some reason
I could go on and on about examples over the last 20 years
It’s a strong feeling you get when living here for all your life

I thought Montreal wanted Cavendish and CSL refused
Après, il ne faut pas oublier que l’agglomération de Montréal, c’est principalement la ville de Montréal. Je ne pense sérieusement pas qu’il y a à la ville de Montréal une volonté de nuire aux banlieues. Cette guerre de clocher n’existe pas et les exemples que tu donnes sont probablement davantage influencés par d’autres facteurs.
Par exemple, le plan du REV inclue de grosses distances dans les autres municipalités de l’agglomération, mais il est normal que les premières phases soient dans les secteurs centraux et denses. Pour un budget limité, ces phases ont un impact bien plus important. D’ailleurs le REV sur Côte-de-Liesse n’est-il pas toujours prévu pour 2027?
Pour le SRB Pie-IX, je veux dire, le boulevard ne passe par aucune autre ville que Montréal, c’est un drôle d’exemple à utiliser.
Pour Henri Bourassa / Hymus, il y a certainement eu d’autres contraintes budgétaires ou opérationnelles qui ont pesé beaucoup plus lourd qu’une soit disant manigance pour sous développer les banlieues.
Ce sentiment n’est pas exclusif au West Island, il existe partout dans la CMM. Des municipalités de banlieues qui trouvent qu’elles paient trop pour la ville centre par rapport à ce qu’elles reçoivent, il y en a beaucoup. De mon expérience, c’est souvent surtout un biais de confirmation (on oublie les projets financés par l’aggloméraiton / la CMM dans ces territoires) et un manque de compréhension des échelles des coûts et de la population / densité.

That was the example I was giving regarding the fact Montreal refused to add Saint jean too the pmad
I do have more examples I could give like how Baie-d’urfe Town Hall’s renovation were funded by itself (plus fédéral grants) while Montreal decided to Bill the entire aglo for a bronze door on top of the rest of the building.
Another example dorval terminus… No power for months, the every single bus stop is a temporary stop for years, all of the signage dates from 2012.
Is it tho? We first need a election to pass next year (that election will also affect the head of the aglo and the head of the CMM) then everything for 2027 are just plans and nothing yet has been set in stone (the Kirkland rev overpass is still not legalized by mtl city)
Anyways for the overpass it’s nice to see that they prioritized the Alston overpass than the saint Jean overpass since that one was tbh of no value.
Also that overpass would theoretically connect Fairview new terminus to a night bus properly
