This necessarily entails greater efficiency when it comes to how we move around the city. The Transportation Plan that we are submitting is the outcome of this vision. It is ambitious, even bold, and it takes an unequivocal stance in favour of public and active modes of transportation. Its objective is to respond to the mobility needs of all Montrealers by making their city a great place to live as well as an economic development pole that is prosperous and respectful of the environment. In this regard, the Transportation Plan proposes to make the most of opportunities offering through road improvements or the building of transportation infrastructures to enhance the city’s image. Forecasts on population growth and increases in the number of jobs between now and 2021 foretell an actual increase in commutes within and to the island of Montréal. A number of additions and improvements will need to be made to the road network. Montréal already has an extensive public transit network; the Transportation Plan proposes to optimize its use and service a larger segment of Montréal’s population. Montréal considers the safety of road network users a priority. This is why we are putting forward a series of measures so that, in the end, pedestrians, cyclists and drivers will all be the ultimate winners. The Transportation Plan proposes concrete measures to reach an enduring balance between the commuting needs of the population and the quality of the environment. At a time when climate changes are the source of concern for more and more specialists as well as for the public in general, we no longer have a choice. It is now urgent that we take the steps that will have a real impact. This is why the Transportation Plan also calls on higher-level governments and regional partners to commit themselves to support its orientations and to harmonize their own priorities with those of the city. This Transportation Plan is at the heart of our citizens’ interests. It also clearly demonstrates the will of our administration to transform the transportation system, to improve it and to rethink it for the benefit of efficient mobility, economic growth, quality of life, sustainable development and accountable management so that we may live better in a city where we will have successfully managed a secure and harmonious balance between the various choices of transportation modes. Gérald Tremblay Mayor of Montréal 7 M e s s age from Mr. André Lavallée In 1967, Montrealers and the whole world were discovering Expo. The islands were offering us an enchanting setting but also the bold outlook of a car-free city where pedestrians were kings—a city serviced by all kinds of public transit modes: the new metro, the Expo Express train, the monorail, electric mini-trains, bicycles, and the river shuttles. Cars were relegated to park-and-ride car parks. The Montréal Transportation Plan is partly inspired by this bold and innovative vision; it also takes into account other indisputable factors. Climate changes and the rapid deterioration of the environment preoccupy all of us. We must also acknowledge that modes of transportation contribute to a large part to the production of greenhouse gases. The negative effects of this pollution, in addition to its intensification on a planetary scale, have a direct impact on our quality of life. Montrealers are disturbed by the thousands of vehicles that invade central neighbourhoods every day and spill over into residential streets. They worry with good reason about safety in residential sectors and around schools. From now on, our choices with respect to transportation modes must imperatively reflect our preoccupations regarding the environment, the quality of the air we breathe, health, security, the ambiance of our neighbourhoods, the quality and comfort of urban developments and our contribution to social justice. Consequently, we are proposing that public and active transportation become more and more the modes that will be encouraged to move around or access the island. This choice calls for adopting and implementing decisive measures. Transportation and travels that are economic in nature must also be considered. A number of improvements to the road network are necessary to support Montréal’s economic competitiveness and trade flows. But they must be realized within a sustainable development framework. The Plan also recommends pursuing the building of public transit infrastructures on a regional scale, while proposing that the regional and structuring character of these assets and the necessity of an optimal development of sectors already urbanized be acknowledged. Montréal commits itself to actively participating in an action plan that would lead to the optimization of commuting and freight transportation linked with land-use planning, and this, at the metropolitan community scale. Finally, the Plan clearly outlines the major initiatives that Montréal wants to implement over the next few years.

  • Canadian Rail No182 1966
    Can..a. ia )RS.~nn November 1966 Number 18a Thanks, Emmons! HA T THE 1966 Fall Foliage excursion was a social success, no one T will deny. The comparatively short train, the small number of passengers, an excellent display by Mother Nature and an excel- lent performance by that noble steel steed, No. 6218, combined to make the event an enjoyable one, not only for the passengers but also for the trip committee. A subsidiary factor but, unfortunately, an important one , was that it lost a considerable amount of money for the Association, and while the purpose of our excursions has never been to make a profit per se, it is reasonable that an attempt be made to avoid loss. In de­ fense of the Trip Committee, however, it should be said tha t the fall trip deficit was more than offset by a profit on the spring excursion to Essex Junction SO that, taking 1966 operations as a whole, there is a "black" balance. This would not have been, however, had it not been for the spontan­ eous generosity of the 470 Railroad Club of Portland, Maine, and its dedicated and magnanimous Treasurer and Clerk of Corporation, our good friend Mr. J. Emmons Lancaster. No. 6218 was shared with the Portland club on the October 1/2 weekend, and this sharing made the inevitable large fixed costs of supplying the locomotive and operating it over such a long mileage, less of a burden on both the Portland club and ourselves. The Portland group had a tremendous turnout of passengers, over eight hundred in fact, in contrast to slightly more than one hundred adventurous souls who supported our own trip.
