Our Goal

Earth’s climate system is severely broken. 

Yet drivers drive as if there were no tomorrow and politicians saddle us with vanity projects based on yesterday’s technology. We need a public transit system that will take us into a future, with or without CoVid — low-carbon, accessible, modestly-priced, visually attractive — not billion-dollar extravaganzas. Vehicles that run on the surface, not above ground, that need a minimum of cement structures and that integrate well with neighbourhoods are the preferred choice, by far, in Europe.                                                    

 HOW WE WOULD ACHIEVE OUR GOAL IN EAST MONTREAL

– surface transport not elevated
– expanded and improved Train de l’Est
– light rail on Longue Pointe subdivision tracks to P. A.T.
– refurbish Jacques Cartier Junction and bring the Train de l’Est downtown on the Lachute Subdivision.
– restore Outremont spur
– restore Viger metro station
– tramways along Notre Dame east and Boul. Henri Bourassa
– trams or Bus Rapid Transit along busy north south streets
– a complete grid
