they were finally going to have access to a viable system offering them effi-
cient and reliable transportation across the island - something the municipalities have been wanting for years, if not decades. They were going to be able to avoid the hours upon hours spent in traffic in their cars or the long haul of connecting bus, train and metro systems to get to work, school or appointments in the city - a city they contribute to greatly. After dropping off their children at daycare centres or schools they would be able to simply park at one of the six West Island REM stations and travel REM stations under construction into town in less time But after all the prom- seems as if they have no than it ever took before - day, often even longer beises, the REM is not com- idea how the West Island cause of having to run errepeating the pattern in ing through with the most is set up or they have rands. reverse at the end of the essential thing needed to never set foot in the area. accommodate the many Just to get to a bus stop potential users of the sys- located on one of the tem; enough parking spots main streets is often far for their cars at the sta- away from the residential tions. areas where people live For some reason REM far enough that the inconinfo@studioeliross.com officials think people in venience and time it 3737 St-Jacques, Suite C104 the West Island will leave would take to get finally their cars at home then get to a REM station Montreal, Qc.

LAND station, it was originally supposed to have around 1800 spots - and the POINTE CLAIRE station at Fairview was to have 650 parking spaces, but that number is apparently being reduced. Station DES SOURCES is supposed to have a parking lot with approximately 500 spaces and Station SAINT-ANNE-DE-BELLEVUE with around 200 spaces. But it is still unclear exactly how many parking spots will be available as nothing has been fully confirmed. At the PIERREFONDS-ROXBORO and SUNNYBROOKE stations, REM users are supposed to be able to park their cars in the existing parking spaces for the DeuxMontagnes train line - but given the changes and confusion to date nothing is sure or if it is even enough. So far the answers being given to these questions and uncertainties are that 'bus networks will be revised to optimize feeder service to REM’s stations' - short of inspiring any confidence that things will be done right for West Island commuters for once and for always.
