With a transparency objective in mind, CDPQ Infra has prepared several information documents summarizing the study to make the contents of the study more accessible: – A summary report on the study which shows the project’s evolution over the past few months; – A shorter summary setting out the main elements; and – Fact sheets showing the most recent changes in the project’s route. • The following fact sheets provide an overview of the most recent optimizations of the route, made since June. • Various fact sheets will be issued from time to time to track progress on the project and maintain ongoing dialogue. Environmental Impact Study – July 28, 2016 FACT SHEET 1 – Cultural heritage RÉSEAU ÉLECTRIQUE MÉTROPOLITAIN (REM) Objective: prevent and minimize impacts on buildings with heritage potential caused by the connection between REM and Central Station in the Griffintown neighbourhood. The access to Central Station, using CN elevated tracks, allows the various branches to be connected in a single integrated network. • At present, the scenario analyzed for the construction of civil-engineering structures between Notre-Dame Street West and St. Paul Street West might require partial demolition of the rear section of the Rodier Building. • Other options that would avoid affecting this heritage building are however still being analyzed. • Optimization of the route in this sector has made it possible to avoid affecting the New City Gas Building, as well as various buildings in the block formed by Wellington-Ann-Brennan streets, eliminating the need for demolition of the Drummond-McCall Building*.

  • An Innovative Model, an Integrated Network
    RÉSEAU ÉLECTRIQUE MÉTROPOLITAIN An innovative model, an integrated network / Presentation of the #ProjetREM cdpqinfra.com THE REM: A PROJECT WITH IMPACT The REM is a fully automated, electric light rail transit (LRT) system, made up of 67 km of dedicated rail lines, with 50% of the tracks occupying existing rail corridors and 30% following existing highways. The REM will include four branches connecting downtown Montréal, the South Shore, the West Island, the North Shore and the airport, resulting in two new high-frequency public transit service lines to key employment hubs. A team of close to 400 experts is contributing to this project, ensuring well-planned, efficient and effective integration with the other transit networks. All sorts of elements are being considered, including the REM’s integration into the urban fabric and landscape, access to stations and impacts on the environment. Based on the current planning stage, the REM would become the fourth largest automated transit network in the world, with 27 stations, 13 parking facilities and 9 bus terminals, in addition to offering: • frequent service (every 3 to 12 minutes at peak times, depending on the stations), 20 hours a day (from 5:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m.), 7 days a week; • reliable and punctual service, through the use of entirely dedicated tracks; • reduced travel time through high carrying capacity and rapid service; • attention to user safety and security through cutting-edge monitoring; • highly accessible stations (by foot, bike, public transit or car) and equipped with elevators and escalators to improve ease of travel for everyone; • flexibility to espondr to increases in ridership, with the possibility of having trains pass through stations every 90 seconds.

THE CANADIAN HANDBOOK AND TOURIST'S GUIDE. INTRODUCTION. The Nooks and Corners of Canada, and. more especially of the Lower Province, in addition to the interest they awaken as important sources of Commercial and Agricultural wealth, are invested with no ordinary attraction for the Naturalist, the Antiquary, the Historian, and the Tourist in quest of pleasure or of health. We have often wondered why more of the venturesome spirits amongst our transatlantic friends do not tear themselves away, even for a few months, from London fogs, to visit our distant but more favoured clime. How is it that so few, comparatively speaking, come to enjoy the bracing air and bright summer skies of Canada ? With what zest could the enterprising or eccentric among them undertake a ramble, with rod and gun in hand, from Niagara to Labrador, over the Laurentian Chain of Moun- tains, choosing as rallying points, whereat to compare notes, the summit of Cape Eternity in the Saguenay district, and 6 Introduction.

  • Evaluating Greenhouse Gas Emissions Benefits of Emerging Green Technologies in Passenger Transportation in the Quebec Context
    Evaluating Greenhouse Gas Emissions Benefits of Emerging Green Technologies in Passenger Transportation in the Quebec Context Sabrina Chan Department of Civil Engineering and Applied Mechanics McGill University, Montreal November 2012 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Engineering. © Sabrina Chan 2012 ABSTRACT The transport produces 43.5% of Quebec’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions; more than half of these emissions come from passenger transportation. In Quebec, transport emissions have grown by 30% from 1990 to 2009. Accordingly, this research evaluates the impact on GHG of alternative fuels and technologies in public transit and personal motor vehicles in the Quebec context using link-level GHG estimation methods. The transit technologies examined were analyzed using a lifecycle approach, mainly focusing on fuel production and vehicle operation phases, with the aid of GHGenius and MOVES. The demand for hybrid vehicles, its determinants as well as some potential market penetration scenarios were also investigated for Quebec City and the Island of Montreal. Different sources of data were combined to generate GHG inventories and estimate motor vehicle travel demand including: GPS, train and vehicle fleet fuel consumption rates, the Canadian Census, origin- destination surveys, and vehicle registration records. The results demonstrate that the use of alternative technologies can lead to significant GHG reductions. Among the bus technologies, it was found that hybrid buses are the best option with savings of 43.3%, followed by compressed natural gas (20.5%) and biodiesel (12.5%). For commuter rail, electric technology can reduce emissions by 98%; however, hydrogen fuel cell trains may be competitive in terms of cost-benefit ratio.
