Camillien-Houde now unsafe for buses: STM
The STM claims that the new arrangement on the Camillien-Houde, with alternating traffic flow directions, is unsafe for buses, and it stopped the 11 and 711 routes from crossing the mountain on Wednesday. Since that’s the only purpose of those routes, there’s a problem. The city and the STM are reported to be working something out.

I rode over the mountain from west to east on Sunday evening. I can’t fathom how someone would miss the new light – the entire roadway around that stretch is different: it’s narrower, the traffic light (with a countdown clock) is extremely prominent, there’s signage indicating there’s a light and there are lots of bollards separating the road from the shoulder. Whether it’s overt or insidious, the effect will be to make driving over the mountain a really unpleasant experience. I think I spent about five minutes waiting for the light.
