Luc Rabouin hopes that 25% of office workers will return.
The STM is predicting it will only return to pre-pandemic ridership levels in 2023.
It’s time to realize that we are six months into what is likely going to be a multi-year event, and that we are going to see many more lockdowns, and probably other disruptions as well.
If the administration wants to revive the city, it’s time to create a small group of people with big ideas and excellent execution skills to understand what’s changed permanently, and how to adapt.

I agree we need that war council. It’s time.

I totally read “Downtown loses 92% of footballs” in the title (I mostly read via the RSS feed, so I see the titles). 😀
I needed to go downtown to sign a contract for a new job last Friday, and it’s actually pleasant to walk now downtown. They expanded much of the walking area into the street and added chairs and artwork on the ground. Most stores were pretty empty, but there was still somehow I lineup in front of the Apple store.
It kinda made me want to go back to work downtown, though that is currently impossible until my parents, who are in an at-risk category, can go pick up my kids from school again.
