Yes, it will replace the Deux-Montagnes train, with new branches to the airport, to Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue, and a high frequency trunk from Bois-Franc to Quartier Dix/30 in Brossard, where there will be trains every 2 minutes. Most of it will be above ground, the only underground portion is between Ville-Mont-Royal and Place Bonaventure.

The new Turcot Interchange, also known as the most complicated construction site currently in N.A progressing well. It is about 75% done and should finish by the end of next year. Having a steel structure under the highway + the lower altitude of it will for sure make it last much longer.

Champlain bridge almost done, I know they said it'll open by June of next year but I believe it'll be sooner. Of course, warmer weather will help that, especially since they have to waterproof the bridge and pave it. Once complete, construction will start in the middle of the bridge for the new REM project.

Low-income rates in Montreal continue to decrease (this is within Montreal city limits only).

Island of Montreal low-income rates (2016): 13.7% (according to the Institute of stats Quebec)
City of Montreal low-income rates (2016): 17.9% (a drop from 29% in 2001)

Remember, after the 1995 referendum, the rate in the city of Montreal was 40%! to go from 40% to 17.9% in two decades is phenomenal. We still have work to do, but this is excellent news regardless.

I always found it to be ridiculously high. I wonder what the original folks who designed it were thinking...

It's cause it was located on a cliff, so they decided to keep it all high. the highest point was 205ft, and others went over the canals and all that. Plus it was supposed to be big to show Montreal's global dominance back then as a modern city. But like every project in Montreal back then, it was rushed and used cheap material.

Another condo project announced (although small) in the Bell Centre cluster. The 21-floor building will be between Roccabella and L'Avenue, have 160 units and commercial spaces as well. Starting price is $432K (pretty high starting price by MTL standards) and is the third condo to be announced on this street with another one planned as well. The only picture I found on it was at Mtlurb, I'll post another once I find a better quality one.

*Also the rumour for the Square Phillips project (take with a grain of salt) is three buildings, 1x60-floors, 1x40 and 1x13*

I usually post about econ/infra developments and condos, but there's also a lot of green spaces in development right now in the city. I stumbled across this small article about some future green spaces, everyone should check it out cause it's pretty damn cool what's being developed. Also to those people who say the city isn't developing any green spaces (if there's any here) I'd recommend you read this.
