L’installation de l’œuvre permanente a été complétée.
Trois emplacements pour publicités sont apparus à proximité des salles de bain dans le terminus de bus.

Sais-tu si Fairview aura une salle de bain ?
We really could’ve done better here. It’s a neon white environment that feels a bit cold and hostile.
A LOT of plants do very well in poorly lit places. Any vine or climbing plant could’ve been planted in a container and allowed to grow on the walls after a certain time.

Trust me, you don’t want vines anywhere near concrete. They attach in the smallest of imperfection, and when the times inevitably come to remove trim and control them, you end up damaging the surface that they are attached to. Those little grippers of theirs are stupidly strong and you just end up accelerating the degradation of the infrastructure. They can quite literally burrow through a concrete wall if given the chance. They also increase relative humidity in the area which is the last thing that you want anywhere near a concrete wall.
You only ever want them on an auxiliary structure that isn’t tied to the rest of your infrastructure, and you want to be very careful about controlling them regularly. It is a lot of maintenance.

too much maintenance = more costs. CDPQ Infra wanted the lowest costs possible for all their stations.

In the terminal, the displays have been improved.
The sets of new displays now have 2 that cycle between different RTL buses, and the other cycles with exo (and SJSR) buses:
In the ailes, they’ve flipped the displays on the right side to face the terminal so you can see it when you’re approaching. It also means there’s more space for lining up:
The yellow “stand behind the line” signs should be moved to the opposite side. Also IMO they should mark on the ground separate lines when there’s multiple buses, like at Terminus Centre-Ville.
At the door of the ailes, the displays show only buses in that specific aile:
They’ve added the bad RTL map on the wall beside the exo map:

So no more “recap sud”

Les deux premières œuvres du programme d’art public du REM ont été dévoilées ces derniers jours ! Il s’agit de l’installation photo Un voyage sans fin au-delà du présent, de Chih-Chien Wang à la station Panama, ainsi que des deux sculptures Les Passagers de David Armstrong VI, à la station Brossard. Le travail de ces deux artistes montréalais agrémente déjà le parcours des usagères et des usagers des stations Brossard et Panama. En tout, le programme d’art UniR > prévoit l’installation de 12 œuvres dans l’ensemble du réseau. Merci au travail de nos artistes !

Quand je suis passé vendredi soir et ce lundi matin l’œuvre était sans éclairage.

Du coté gauche, une clôture temporaire a été placé. J’ai l’impression que c’est pour bloquer le petit «racoin». Étrange qu’ils ont laissé cet espace. Pourrait être jugé comme non sécuritaire ?

Google has a very odd bug with the pathways around Panama. And since google maps has the bug, so does Chrono.
According to this, it takes almost 40 minutes to get from Panama station to the terminus.

As-tu rapporté le problème?
j’ai signaler google il y a 6 mois et c’etait régler, mais maintenant c’est de retour. Aucun idee pourquoi c’est reproduit encore.

C’est vraiment compliqué de rapporter des problèmes, WoW! Sur Google Maps il est dit explicitement de ne pas rapporter de problèmes avec le transport en commun… sur Chrono le bouton “écrivez-nous” ne fonctionne même pas.
J’ai rapporté via le site du RTL, qui m’a l’air d’avoir été développé en 1999 à l’ère des modem 56k. Espérons qu’ils lisent les messages.

Give it a few years and somebody will be telling the REM that their signage is peeling off and needs to be replaced.
Who could have anticipated that people would prefer to walk in a straight line rather than do a 90 degrees turn when there is absolutely no physical obstacle…
How disconnected are the people drawing these plans? It looks good on their 2D map, but have they ever walked around in the real world? I am sure we could come up with some AI models to virtually put designs to the “real world” test.
Desire lines are generally fairly predictable, and I am surprised this is not part of some checklist prior to finalizing plans. It’s like if an interior designer was not accounting for the opening of doors and you ended up with unusable cupboards and drawers every time you opened the dishwasher… Predictable, and a testament of incompetence.

Playing devils advocate… it looks like the property line is short. Now did the property line exist before or after, I don’t know. Maybe it would have been a hassle to expropriate another 10m2. If they only paved where the desire path is, maybe a new desire path would emerge from those coming from the other direction. Maybe they were told to spend as little as possible on paving.
I’m not saying they couldn’t have done better. But anyone who works in a large organization knows that sometimes you have to make decisions that are just ok, even when you know you could do better.
