Future Projects
To improve service and attract new users on the Candiac line, the AMT will carry out three major projects:
- Improve railway infrastructure on the Adirondack/Lacolle subdivision. The $20-million project includes improving signaling, adding a siding for freight trains, refurbishing switches and improving pedestrian crossings. Work should be completed by 2014.
- Build a new train station in Lachine along Victoria Street. This project is part of the MTQ's mitigation measures for the reconstruction of the Turcot interchange. The new station is expected in 2014.
- Build a new layover facility (overnight service and storage yard) at the end of the line. Construction is linked to the railway improvement project above.

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or projects:
“It is a time when one’s spirit is subdued and sad, one knows not why; when the past seems a storm-swept desolation, life a vanity and a burden, and the future but a way to death.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“But look what we have built ... low-income projects that become worse centers of delinquency, vandalism and general social hopelessness than the slums they were supposed to replace.... Cultural centers that are unable to support a good bookstore. Civic centers that are avoided by everyone but bums.... Promenades that go from no place to nowhere and have no promenaders. Expressways that eviscerate great cities. This is not the rebuilding of cities. This is the sacking of cities.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
