The stars seem to be aligning. Congestion on the 20. Congestion on the Laurentian. Congestion on Dufferin-Montmorency and on the 40 eastbound. If you are one of those who still believe that the tramway will transform the daily arrival or exit from Quebec, you are dreaming. […]
The CAQ government certainly does not want to go against the wishes of more than 60% of citizens with a project whose costs seem to be exploding, even if we cannot find out the details.
The words of the Minister of Transport, following those of the city’s mayor, already indicate a path. If social acceptance does not evolve, we will have to move towards a more structuring, flexible and efficient transport project. This is the opportunity for the mayor to assess the temperature of the water and finally show his judgment. The solutions exist. What we already know about the project is the considerable damage that will be done to the urban fabric: rails, concrete barrier slabs, electrical wires, access constraints for secondary streets, massive felling of century-old trees. , etc.
