This is even worse than the original plan, because the tunnel portal will necessitate the permanent closure of Jeanne-Mance/René-Lévesque. Walling off intersections is about the worst thing you can do for accessibility and the pedestrian environment.

It’s almost as if the solution isn’t as simple as just digging a tunnel under RL. Shocker who would have thought.

One kind of wishes the good old days back when the province was mostly investing in projects disfiguring areas like the turcot, and kind of neglecting the city other than that.

Now now, Spi, you’ll make the armchair civil engineers irate with talk like this.
I had a peverse thought recently: if we are so up-in-arms about property prices on the island as affordable housing advocates, why should we care if residential lots around RL and Sherbrooke E go down in value a bit due to having a monorail (Mono- d’oh!) next to them?

It isn’t property values that concern most of us, regarding the elevated train, but the aesthetics, and the damage to the urban fabric.
