People like me who drive to the Bois-Franc trains station is because there is a large parking lots that's actually CLOSE to the Train Station. (Don't get me started on Du Resseau station). If there is a Metro link at that station, the parking lot will more than likely fill up to over capacity. Better to have the AMT buy more of the surround land and increase the size of the parking lot. Here is the catch. People don't like to walk. Making the lot larger and farther way from either the Train or the Metro entrance would not help the problem. So perhaps, extending the lot to the east, North or South would be a good idea. Anything but West. Another idea (foolish?) would be to have a parking lot for the Metro, maybe on the large green space you can see on the map below. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=montreal&ie=UTF8&ll=45.522263,-73.708992&spn=0.009126,0.00912&t=h&z=17&om=1 The Metro Station can be where the eastern Trees are and an underground passage for pedestrians connecting the Metro to the Train Station and to both Parking lots can be constructed.

While i do think Montreal needs a tram system, i don't think something like Projet Montréal's proposal would be needed. It is definitely something feasible on the most popular bus lines like those proposed by the city in the recent report. Hey, i'm not some crazy tram enthusiast! i enjoy your blog by the way.
