  • Finding Art and History Among the Malls of Montreal's Underground City
    Finding art and history among the malls of Montreal's underground city MORGAN LOWRIE, THE CANADIAN PRESS 12.12.2016 | The atrium of the International Trade Center, which is one of many locations connected to the underground city network, is seen Friday, December 9, 2016 in Montreal.THE CANADIAN PRESS/Ryan Remiorz MONTREAL ­ A visit to the "underground city" is a top item in any Montreal tourism guide, although asking a resident for directions just might get you the tiniest roll of the eye. That's because to many Montrealers, the tunnels that connect the city's downtown subway stations with a series of malls, oøce buildings and universities are more a convenient way of getting around than a noteworthy destination in itself. But in this case, the tourists may just have it right, according to the author of a book about the pedestrian network. Ivan Drouin says Montrealers' nonchalance may be simply due to the fact it's such a part of their lives they may not understand what an achievement it is. "I've met Montrealers who worked downtown for 20 years and are surprised to learn about the underground city's diversity, its artwork, its stories and its history," said Drouin, who founded Kaleidoscope, a Montreal tour company that oúers guided visits of the network. The term "underground" is a misnomer, as many of the levels are actually above ground. Drouin describes it instead as a "protected pedestrian network" — a 32­kilometre series of tunnels and passageways that allow residents to have access to most major downtown destinations without stepping foot outdoors.

    TERRESTRIAL LIDAR INVESTIGATION OF THE 2004 ROCKSLIDE ALONG PETIT CHAMPLAIN STREET, QUÉBEC CITY (QUEBEC, CANADA) Michel Jaboyedoff, Thierry Oppikofer & Romain Minoia Institute of Geomatics and Risk Analysis (IGAR), University of Lausanne, Switzerland, [email protected] Jacques Locat & Dominique Turmel Université Laval, Quebec City, Qc, Canada RÉSUMÉ Au cours des 240 dernières années, 53 mouvements de versant se sont produits le long du promontoire de Québec, causant la mort de 88 personnes principalement lors de chutes de blocs. En octobre 2004, un petit éboulement a atteint la route dans une zone proche de l’éboulement de 1889 qui a tué 35 personnes et blessé 30 autres. Une image 3D a été créée par l’utilisation d’un scanner Lidar terrestre (SLT). Les sept familles de joints identifiées sont en accord avec les mesures effectuées dans de précédentes études. L’imagerie SLT a aussi permit d’estimer les volumes des instabilités passées et d’en analyser le mécanisme: un glissement rocheux qui affecte des blocs débités en parallélépipèdes par d’autres familles de joints. De plus la zone étudiée montre qu’elle est favorable aux chutes de blocs. ABSTRACT In nearly 240 years 53 landslides have occurred along the Quebec City Promontory, causing 88 fatalities mainly by rockfalls. In October 2004 a rockfall reached the road close to the 1889 rockfall event which killed 35 people and injured 30 others. Using a terrestrial Lidar scanner (TLS) a 3D image was created. Seven joint sets were accurately determined in agreement with previous research. The TLS imagery permit the estimation of the volumes involved in the past instabilities and analysis of the mechanisms: a rockslide with several joint sets cutting the rock mass into parallelepiped shaped blocks.
