Feasibility Study of a Railway Link

CANARAIL reviewed all posible layouts for the proposed new Montreal-Repentigny commuter train line. These 13 km layouts should provide service to Mascouche, Terrebonne and Lachenaie, Repentigny/Le Gardeur and Charlemagne municipalities. One of the main characteristics of this project was to propose layouts maximizing the use of the right-of-way of a highway while keeping the option to add a line for each roadway in the middle strip of the highway. Costs related to the implementation of the layouts were also developed and a multicriteria study was carried out to enable the AMT to choose the best possible layout.
