FairviewâPointe-Claire is a RĂ©seau express mĂ©tropolitain (REM) station under construction in Pointe-Claire, Quebec, Canada. It will be operated by CDPQ Infra and serves as a station of the Anse-Ă -l'Orme branch of the REM, [1] with an expected opening in the fourth quarter of 2024. [2]
It could promote the implementation of a transit-oriented development (TOD). [3] However, the station is being built in the parking lot of the eponymous Fairview Pointe-Claire shopping mall where there very little nearby residential housing, at a time of critical housing shortage. [4] A TOD maximizes the amount of space within walking distance of public transport. [5] [6] It promotes sustainable urbanization [7] by reducing the use of private cars. [8]
Cadillac Fairview is proposing to replace 900 parking spots with hundreds of residential units, a seniors' home, and open public areas. [4] As of the second quarter of 2022 the project has been "frozen" by Pointe-Claire city council. [4] The mayor, elected in the 2021 Quebec municipal elections, campaigned on a platform of opposing development. [9]
