Commuter rail and transit developments in Montreal

[west point]

I’d say that they are trying to strike the right balance. The next station on the line has a new massive mixed use development with lots of apartments, restaurants and stores all of which are very walkable from the train station.

On a brutal winter day? Have always liked the Minneapolis way.

It looks like there were walkways over the expressway - the developments look huge - 20-30 story (maybe 30 is pushing it) high-rise residential buildings. Lots of retail, housing and office/mixed use type stuff which more planning or in the immediate, current construction pipeline. Canada builds taller and denser than in the US in suburbia (and outer portions of city proper) quite often.
