SRB PIE IX. Service Rapide de Bus 🚍 Montréal. Qc . Canada 🍁
The Pie-IX Rapid Transit (SRB) service will be phased in starting November 7, 13 years after the project was announced, the Montreal Transport Bank (STM) announced Tuesday.
The new bus service will connect Boulevard Saint-Martin Laval with Boulevard Pierre-de Coubertin in Montreal. However, due to construction work, buses will have to divert at two places along avenue Pi-IX, rue Jean-Talon and pont Pie-IX, where the pedestrian tunnels are still under construction. IX, the upgrades of which will continue until 2023. Line 439 Express Pie-IX will be the main line and the canopy will be in the middle of the runway. Depending on the chosen destination, this line will have 3 different routes: Lacordaire/Henri-Bourassa, Carrefour Henri-Bourassa/Pie-IX and Laval. STM spokeswoman Justine Lord-Dufour said: "Once you get in the car, the destination is clear."
Since the bus will travel in reserved lanes, it will not be slowed down by car traffic. As for 139 Pie-IX, its frequency will be reduced as this circuit is mainly used for local travel. Your site will be curbside. Ultimately, the Pie-IX SRB, which will serve Laval and cross four Montreal boroughs, will include 38 shelters for people with limited functionality. Pedestrian lights with a digital countdown will allow users to arrive safely, the STM said. SRB Pie-IX was announced in December 2009 under the leadership of Mayor Gérald Tremblay and was planned for 2013. However, the project has been repeatedly delayed. Various electrification options have been explored over the years, including the use of trolleybuses, but this option was eventually abandoned due to prohibitive costs and the impact of overhead poles and cables on the urban landscape. Work finally started in 2019. Revival Winds in North Montreal
In North Montreal, the completion of work on Boulevard Pie-IX and the removal of the Orange Cone were greeted with relief. "Working that long is bad for our arteries," said Montreal North Mayor Christine Black. Unlike other SRB-equipped sections of Boulevard Pie-IX, Montreal North is business-oriented and represents the "backbone of the economy" for the region, she said.
However, the entry of VNV will be very beneficial, according to Mrs. Black. “It will bring us closer to the subway line and give us more flexibility in Montreal. The municipality also took advantage of this work to carry out the Pie-IX special urban plan, which will guarantee the revitalization of the industry. “There was free parking and huge parking lots, even at Forest Mall,” recalled the elected official, who expects the industry, designated TOD (transit-oriented development), to get denser in the coming years. Jean-Francois Gosselin, CEO of the North Montreal Community Economic Development Corporation, acknowledged that the construction site, coupled with the COVID-19 pandemic, has damaged the local economy. But the new chapter that began in this part of town has sparked excitement. “Work is being done to green the boulevard, both during the completion of the VRB works and in some cities. This could make the pedestrian experience more interesting than it is now. »
Mobility is therefore at the heart of the relaunch of Montréal-Nord, which also promises the construction of a structured transport project (previously known as REM de l'Est). Is North Montreal in danger of gentrification? Not yet, Christina Black said, vowing to remain vigilant: "We want to make sure we preserve our world."
