My Alerts Starting May 12, work will begin to upgrade the passenger platforms for the eastbound 470 – Express Pierrefonds bus line at Terminus Fairview in Pointe Claire. Indeed, because articulated buses will now be used, the platforms must be refurbished to accommodate these vehicles, as they are longer than standard-size buses. The work is expected to take five to eight weeks and will require the temporary relocation of a number of bus stops.

Mitigation measures will be implemented to ensure customers are safely redirected to the new bus stop locations. Ground markings and directional signs will be added to indicate pedestrian paths, while concrete borders will be installed to delimit them. Furthermore, STM inspectors along with Cadillac Fairview security officers will be on hand to ensure that transit users can circulate safely, both inside the terminus and outside. STM staff will also be present during the first two weeks of work to direct passengers and answer any questions.
The cost of the work is estimated at $80,000.
