The metro, operated by the Société de transport de Montréal (STM), was inaugurated on October 14, 1966, during the tenure of Mayor Jean Drapeau. It has expanded since the 1960s from 26 stations on three separate lines to 68,68 on four lines totaling 69.2 kilometers (43.0 miles) in length,[4][5] serving north, east and center of the island of Montreal with connections to Longueuil, via the Yellow Line, as well as the suburb of Laval, via the Orange Line. The Montreal Metro is Canada's second busiest fast transit system and North America's fourth busiest fast transit system, behind the New York City subway, the Mexico City subway and the Toronto metro, offering an average of 1,367,200 unlinked daily passenger trips per day of the week (in the fourth quarter of 2018). [2] In 2016, 354 million trips were completed on the Metro (transfers counted as separate trips). [6] According to the STM, the Metro system had carried more than 7 billion passengers by 2010. With the Metro, Montreal has built one of the largest urban rapid transit plans in North America, attracting the second largest number of passengers per capita behind New York City. [7] The Montreal Metro was inspired by the Paris Metro, which is clearly seen in the design of the Metro station and rolling stock. [8] History St. James/Saint-Jacques St. Streetcars in 1910 Urban traffic began in Montreal in 1861 when a line of horse-drawn cars began operating on Craig (now St-Antoine) and Notre-Dame streets. Eventually, as the then Canadian metropolis grew, an extensive network of tram lines provided service almost everywhere. But urban congestion began to affect the punctuality of trams, so the idea of an underground system was soon considered. [9] Fifty years of projects In 1902, when European and American cities were opening their first subway systems, the federal government created the Montreal Subway Company to promote the idea in Canada. Starting in 1910, many proposals were submitted, but the Montreal metro would turn out to be an elusive target. First, the Montreal Street Railway Company, the Montreal Central Terminal Company and the Montreal Underground and Elevated Railway Company undertook unsuccessful negotiations with the city. [9] Then, a year later, the Comptoir Financier Franco-Canadien and the Montreal Tunnel Company proposed tunnels under the city center and the Saint-Lawrence River to unite the emerging neighborhoods of the South Shore, but faced opposition from railway companies. [10] The Montreal Tramways Company (MTC) was the first to receive provincial government approval in 1913 and four years to begin construction. [11] The reluctance of the city's elected officials to advance funds thwarted this first attempt. The one-metre theme was still present in newspapers, but World War I and the recession hitting Montreal prevented any execution. The gradual return of financial health during the 1920s returned the MTC project and attracted the support of the Prime Minister of Quebec. [9] The Great Depression, indebrating Montreal again and atrophying the attendance of its trams, overcate this new attempt and the next devised by the Mayor Mayor He stayed in 1939 as a way to provide work for the unused masses. [12] The 1910 project under the Park Avenue 1944 1953 World War II project and the montreal war effort resurrected tram overcrowding. In 1944, the MTC proposed a two-line network, a line running under Santa Catalina Street, the other under Saint Denis and Notre-Dame and Saint Jacques streets. [13] In 1953, the newly formed Montreal Public Transport Commission replaced trams with buses and proposed a single metro line reusing the 1944 plans and extending it to Boulevard Crémazie, right next to D'Youville's maintenance shops. [14] By this point, construction was already underway on Canada's first subway line in Toronto under Yonge Street, which would open in 1954. Still, Montreal's councillors remained cautious and no work began. For some of them, including Jean Drapeau during his first municipal term, public transport was a thing of the past. [12] In 1959, a private company, the Société d'expansion métropolitaine, offered to build a weary metre of rubber, but the Transport Commission wanted its own network and rejected the offer. [15] This was the last missed opportunity, for Jean Drapeau's re-election as mayor and the arrival of his right-hand man, Lucien Saulnier, changed everything. In the early 1960s, the Western world experienced an economic boom and Quebec experienced its Silent Revolution. Since August 1, 1960, many municipal services approached the project and on November 3, 1961, montreal City Council voted $132 million ($1,060 million in 2016) to build and equip an initial network of 16 kilometers (9.9 miles) in length. [14] Construction of the Metro The 1961 plan reused several previous studies and planned three lines carved into the rock under the city center to the most populated areas of the city. The first two tablet lines of Berri-UQAM Station The main line, or line 1 (green line) was to pass between the two most important arteries, Saint Catherine and Sherbrooke streets, more or less under De Maisonneuve Boulevard. It would run between the English-speaking west at Atwater station and the French-speaking east at Frontenac. Line 2 (Orange Line) was to operate from the north of the city centre, from Crémazie Station through several residential neighborhoods to the business district at Place-d'Armes station. Construction of the first two lines began on May 23, 1962 under the supervision of the Director of Public Works, Lucien L'Allier, the father of the subway. On June 11, 1963, the costs of building the tunnels were lower than expected, Line 2 Orange) was expanded by two stations at each end and the new termini became the Henri- Bourassa and Bonaventure stations. The project, which employed more than 5,000 workers at its peak, and cost the lives of 12 of them, ended on October 14, 1966. The service was between October 1966 and April 1967, as the stations were completed. Cancellation of the project of Line 3 1961, showing the third line A third line was planned. The Canadian National Railroad (CN) tracks that passed under Mount Royal were to be used to reach the northwestern suburb of Cartierville from downtown. Unlike the previous two lines, trains had to be partly above ground. Negotiations with the CN and municipalities stalled, as Montreal was elected in November 1962 to hold the 1967 World's Fair (Expo 67). Having to make a decision, the city decided that a line number 4 (Yellow Line) that joins Montreal with the South Shore suburbs following a plan similar to those proposed in the early 20th century was more necessary. [16] Line 3 was never built and the number was never reused. The railway, already used for a north coast commuter train in Deux-Montagnes, was completely renovated in the early 1990s and effectively replaced the third planned line.

  • REPORT and RECOMMENDATIONS As a Part of a Detailed Planning
    WORKING DOCUMENT REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS as a part of a detailed planning exercise of the Southeast Sector of Westmount July 10, 2018 Report and recommendations - Southeast Sector EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In the latest version of its Planning Programme, amended February 1, 2016, the City of Westmount expressed its will to develop a detailed planning programme for the Southeast Sector of the city. Acting as an interface between the Montreal Borough of Ville-Marie and the rest of the city of Westmount, several major urban transformations have marked the development of the Southeast Sector over the last century, leaving it particularly unstructured and inconsistent with the image of the city of Westmount. First impacted by the extension of Dorchester Boulevard in the 1960s, then by the construction of large urban complexes on Sainte-Catherine Street, and finally by a long and arduous devitalisation process of its commercial arteries, this sector needs to be redefined. Not having the distinctive qualities or characteristics of the city of Westmount nor those of the city centre, the sector is characterized mainly by an extremely diverse built environment (massing, heights, architecture, condition of buildings, etc.) with parking areas and vacant lots. All of this rests on a substantially oversized and impervious arterial system with a quality of public space that is less than desirable. It is within this context that a well-considered and comprehensive urban planning strategy is required for the requalification of this distinct sector to harmonize it with its immediate and surrounding urban environments. Far from wanting to present a formal development proposal for the future of the sector, this report aims at submitting interesting redevelopment options for the Southeast.

  • 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.

VISIT PROGRAMME 28 Montreal Intercultural Profile This report is based upon the visit of the Council of Europe’s expert team on 13 and 14 May 2019 comprising Ivana d’Alessandro and Daniel de Torres. It should be read in parallel with the Council of Europe’s response to Montreal ICC Index questionnaire1, which contains many recommendations and pointers to examples of good practice. 1. Introduction Montréal is located in Québec province, south-eastern Canada. With 1,704,694 inhabitants (2016) it is the second most-populous city in the country. At 365 km2, the city of Montreal occupies about three-fourths of Montréal Island (Île de Montréal), the largest of the 234 islands of the Hochelaga Archipelago, one of three archipelagos near the confluence of the Ottawa and St. Lawrence rivers. The city was founded in 1642 by European settlers in view to establish a Catholic missionary community on Île de Montréal. It was to be called Ville-Marie, after the Virgin Mary. Its current name comes from Mount Royal, the triple-peaked hill in the heart of the city. From the time of the confederation of Canada (1867), Montréal was the largest metropolitan centre in the country until it was overtaken by Toronto in the ‘70s.

This thesis may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. ii Supervisory Committee Buskers Underground: Meaning, Perception, and Performance Among Montreal’s Metro Buskers by Nicholas Wees B.A., University of Victoria, 2015 Supervisory Committee Dr. Alexandrine Boudreault-Fournier (Department of Anthropology) Supervisor Dr. Lisa M. Mitchell (Department of Anthropology) Departmental Member iii Abstract Supervisory Committee Dr. Alexandrine Boudreault-Fournier (Department of Anthropology) Supervisor Dr. Lisa M. Mitchell (Department of Anthropology) Departmental Member This thesis explores the practices, motivations, and sensorial experiences of Montreal’s metro buskers. By examining the lived experiences of ‘street’ performers in the stations and connecting passageways of Montreal’s underground transit system, I consider what it ‘means’ to be a metro busker from the perspective of the performers. Informed by my ethnographic fieldwork among metro buskers, I detail their performance practices, ‘staging’ strategies, uses of technology, bodily dispositions, and subjective perceptions in relation to the public, each other and the spaces of performance. In the process, I make visible—and audible—the variable and improvisational nature of busking practices, and how these are constituted in relation to the physical features of the performance sites. More broadly, I explore the co-productive relations between body and space, the sensorial experiences and spatial practices of everyday urban life, and the potential for moments of micro-social encounter and appropriations of spaces that are not designed to foster conviviality and creative engagement.
