Thanks for those great infos.
I would like to print the drawing 56-60 from the 1949 layout, to make a frame.
How can I get a high quality file ? to have the best print possible.
Thanks in advance.

Also I’d like to hear your thoughts on the Japanese SCmaglev.

Comment on Mont Royal:Convertissons la Conduite Urbaine en Ski Urbain! by Sarah https://www.cat-bus.com/2017/10/mont-royal-ski/comment-page-1/#comment-7699 Thu, 12 Dec 2019 19:01:19 +0000 http://www.cat-bus.com/?p=477#comment-7699 This is a wonderful idea. I so wish the pilot had led to better results – to me it seems a loud minority had an oversized impact on an outcome that would have reduced noise pollution and air pollution on the mountain, made it much safer for pedestrians, and made room for many other, more appropriate, innovative solutions to benefit Montreal residents – like this one!
