Aéroports de Montréal has called for an integrated light-rail transit system that would link the Dorval airport, Pointe-Claire, downtown Montreal and the South Shore.

The Montreal airport authority outlined its vision last week in a presentation to a Quebec government committee holding public hearings on Bill 38.

Bill 38, if passed, will give the Caisse de dépot et placement du Québec the go ahead to build a new West Island train/airport shuttle and a second project, a light-rail transit system over the new Champlain Bridge.

“By integrating these two projects converging toward downtown, we would create a new urban transit network that would be very much larger than the sum of its two parts,” ADM’s CEO James Cherry told Quebec’s Committee on Public Finances on May 19.

Route maps in the 17-page ADM brief, titled Vers Un Nouveau Paradigme, show how the two integrated light-rail transit systems would connect the Dorval airport, parts of the West Island, downtown and the South Shore.
