All very valid points, thank you! It remains suboptimal, but it’s true that blaming the designer may be shortsighted, when in fact they may not be responsible for all the downfalls of their designs. Evolving in a large and all too often frustrating organization myself, your points apply to many fields!

L’appel d’offres pour l’aménagement de l’avenue Tisserand a été publié

EDIT:
Good news for @mashdash, they seem to have learned about signage!

I also noticed they added signs pointing to the kiss and ride behind Place Portobello (where these new signs will be added) along Tisserand

They also have a document with even more visual elements
I guess this tells us how other bus terminals will be indicated

I sent them essentially exactly what they’re going to do (mine looks more like STM’s signs which are grey, their official sign for RTL buses will have them in red):
Additionally they’ll be using vinyl stickers added above existing signage. I heard from someone at the ARTM that they’re interested in using the same materials I used, and here they are!

Got to love getting so tired of waiting for infrastructure improvements that you just send an image to the agency telling them exactly how to fix it…

This exit was originally proposed by the ARTM in 2022 with the opening of the REM, but Claudio Benedetti tried to stop it.
He lives near this REM exit in Sector T, and has told me individually when I talked to him how “homeless and other bad people are coming into my neighbourhood.” He’s a spiteful, unsympathetic, bigoted person that believes making places less welcoming is better. He’s the person that pushes the narrative that adding apartment buildings would make Brossard “Manhattan.” He tried to get the mayor to drop out because he’s a mean person that can’t take others opinions, despite that being his entire job.
Sorry this post because a whole thing against this guy, but he’s the reason this exit has been compromised, and also why bike lanes and more sidewalks haven’t been developed

The plans show moving the crossing further south, as well as removing the stop signs at the curve. A fence would be added along the path which would prevent people from crossing at that corner:
For those walking east on Tisserand like myself, this adds a bit of time walking around, I hope in the future they use the highway right of way to add a new path behind the homes.
Existing path:

Quelques photos pour pouvoir faire des avant-après avec les travaux qui s’en viennent.
L’oeuvre multimédia n’est plus là et l’œuvre photographique est abimée.

ça peut être risqué avec les tempêtes et le froid les oeuvres extérieures
La photo imprimée était une œuvre éphémère, donc c’était prévisible. Mais pour ce qui est de l’œuvre permanente, elle a été retirée?
No the permanent work is still there

Having the 722, the shuttle downtown outside, during the winter will not be a good experience for customers that would take the REM. They should think about moving this to Quai 3, which is empty as well

Nouvelle signalétique!
La borne d’assistance à proximité de la billetterie métropolitaine au Terminus Panama semble être désormais fonctionnelle!

Moi qui s’énerve trop :
Hey babe wake up. New signage just dropped!
Just me?

Juste une remarque: j’ai été aux toilettes des hommes de la station Panama avant-hier. J’ai jamais vu des urinoirs aussi bas. Je mesure 6 pieds et j’en revenais pas que les urinoirs mesuraient près de 2 à 3 pieds.

Précision: il s’agit des toilettes au terminus d’autobus de la RTL à Panama; il n’y a pas de toilettes publiques dans les stations du REM.

C’est ce que je voulais dire, le terminus d’autobus.
Can you win a free month of REM next Summer ?
