Projet structurant de l’Est : la CCEM réclame un signal clair
AI Article Summary

The Chamber of Commerce of Eastern Montreal (CCEM) calls for a firm commitment to the Eastern Structural Project, emphasizing the need for heavy transport. While Mobility Infra Québec (MIQ) is considering options like the tramway, as recommended by the ARTM, the CCEM rejected the idea of a rapid bus service. Most municipal parties support the tramway, which is seen as crucial for urban revitalization in East Montreal.

What This Means for Canadian Contractors

This project highlights the complexity of planning major infrastructure and the need for clear commitments to support the local economy. For Quebec builders, this means that investments in transport can trigger economic opportunities and will require a workforce adaptable to new transportation technologies. Costs could be significantly influenced by transport mode choices and implementation timelines.
