railroad.wikisort.org - StationFairview–Pointe-Claire is a Réseau express métropolitain (REM) station under construction in Pointe-Claire, Quebec, Canada. It is planned to be operated by CDPQ Infra and serves as a station of the Anse-à-l'Orme branch of the REM,[1] with an expected opening in the second quarter of 2024.[2]
Railway station in Montreal, Quebec, Canada
It could promote the implementation of a transit-oriented development (TOD).[3] However, the station is being built in the parking lot of the eponymous Fairview Pointe-Claire shopping mall where there very little nearby residential housing, at a time of critical housing shortage.[4] A TOD maximizes the amount of space within walking distance of public transport.[5][6] It promotes sustainable urbanization[7] by reducing the use of private cars.[8]
Cadillac Fairview is proposing to replace 900 parking spots with hundreds of residential units, a seniors' home, and open public areas.[4] As of the second quarter of 2022 the project has been "frozen" by Pointe-Claire city council.[4] The mayor, elected in the 2021 Quebec municipal elections, campaigned on a platform of opposing development.[9]
