Yves Leduc, Joliette Don’t forget the residents of East MontrealĮveryone in the Department of Transportation seems to be forgetting about the residents of East Montreal. And we’re talking about a third connection in Quebec, another project where we won’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. I envision the Sorel-Tracy rush hour ferry, more congestion and pollution for local residents! Building a bridge there would allow traffic to flow freely and relieve the various infrastructures spanning the Saint Lawrence River. I don’t know why we insist on not building a bridge near Sorel connecting the south coast with the Lanaudière region. I would be interested to know if the Department of Transport considered building a bridge over the tunnel? Instead of rehabilitating the stock, which will certainly cost much more and also cause great collateral damage throughout the metropolitan economic ecosystem. Lucie Beaupré Construction of a new bridge in Montreal… You just have to think of an accident or a breakdown. Totally insane to think of opening just one southbound lane. I don’t understand why there aren’t two lanes to Montreal in the morning and two lanes to South Shore in the evening. Public transport is out of the question for me. I use the tunnel very often for my work on the road. Suzanne and Claude Desroches Why not change the direction of the tracks?

When will public transport be free for us, like in Poland and the Czech Republic? When does the Mont-Saint-Hilaire commuter train run at weekends and in the evening? But we need an open government that thinks about the citizens. If the government were open to ideas, they should first offer the Longueuil metro at half price and make all parking around the metro free on weekdays.

It seems like an illusion, there is no will and the environment and air quality will continue to pay the price. It is time for a meaningful urban and national transport plan. The sad reality of mobility in Quebec: Urban and intercity transport is expensive and so mediocre that outside of Montreal, citizens have no choice but to use the car.

I’d rather drive an hour than be stuck in traffic.ĭennis Kaier For a city and national traffic plan We live in Mirabel and when we absolutely have to go to the South Shore we drive through Berthier and take the ferry. Of course we will avoid the island of Montreal. Why not mandate one lane for trucks, buses and taxis and the second lane for carpooling? This would significantly reduce the number of vehicles going through the tunnel and ease the flow of goods. Marie Allard The Press Lane reserved for carpooling Some offer hiking trails to ease travel between Montreal and the south coast. With half the lanes of the Louis-Hippolyte-La Fontaine tunnel closed for three years, La Presse readers will change their habits…because they can’t help it.
