No brakes on Royalmount
Neither Quebec nor Montreal intend to put the brakes on Royalmount, so despite waffle here about “comité du travail” and “trouver des solutions” we can assume it’s a go.

Good, let’s get it going now and concentrate on other more important issues like expanding subway, building social housings, legislating against illegal short tern rentals and lowering taxes and red taped for small mom and pop businesses.

Again pm makes a big show and rolls over. It’s almost as if they are only progressive in a symbolic sense.

That is a big disappointment. That picture is a testament to Robert Moses and his insane car first urban development. If projet rolls over on this…support for them is hopeless and unwarranted.

Happy to be wrong about this, but my impression was that the City of Montreal (and, thus, PM) doesn’t really have the authority to do much about Royalmount – other than complicate the promoter’s quasi-BS public transit demands.

A brief exchange on Facebook about this article:
Richard Ryan: Effectivement c’est faux, car il y a toujours des négociations avec le promoteur et que rien n’est arrêté pour l’instant.
Concerned Citizen: Pourquoi avoir écrit un tel article alors, selon toi?
Richard Ryan: aucune idée, du spinage peut-être de gens qui ont d’autres intérêts… je ne sais pas.

@Ian The lack of a quote from anyone with the City may be telling…
