projet montréal\'s pink line: pipe dream or election game-changer?

As a loser in the town hall campaign, Projet montral needs a proposal that can attract public attention and sway votes in its own way.
Earlier this week it was announced that the party\'s proposed expansion of the subway system\'s pink line attracted everyone\'s attention.
Whether it can achieve its second goal will depend on how realistic the Monterey people think the project is.
The new metro line with 29 stations will cost less than $ 6B, and Projet montral saysDenis Coderre, who is seeking a second term as mayor, suddenly dispelled the idea of building a new metro line, the line will be cut diagonally across the city, consisting of 29 stations.

Due to the fact that these machines are running underground and are difficult to access, technical problems can mean expensive and long delays, says bhariatycki. He recently wrote an article about public infrastructure projects.
This raised the issue of the $6 billion budget proposed by Projet.
When the party announced the pink line earlier this week, it mentioned three potential sources of funding: the new federal infrastructure bank, the federal public transport infrastructure fund and the provincial infrastructure fund.
These funds reflect Quebec and Ottawa\'s willingness to pay cash for large infrastructure projects, which should inspire supporters of the project.

The new federal infrastructure bank will refer to Toronto as a \"home\", but while projethas says it tends to have the pink line fully funded by the government, it may
Ottawa expects that the bank is not fully operational and will be used to leverage private investment in public projects.
Private investors may want to recover their investment through real estate development along the subway.

However, the project did not take advantage of the fact that it had changed the basic infrastructure computing technology significantly.

In addition, projet \'scoping may be on the ambitious side.

\"But it may not be enough if you\'re talking about 30 kilometers.
