Really you have shared really key point here. Traffic create really big problem especially when you are going to office. It is very hectic situation when you stuck in traffic.

We all go thorough stressful experiences in our lives and the stress of buying a house is a no lesser experience.

"I would lose my mind!"

Now you know how I feel. But like I said: Patience is a must-have this summer.

Hi Dahlia,
I didn't know they had a website with all the projects and construction news. Thanks!

Man, is this one of the things I REALLY don't miss about Montreal! I spent five days on vacation back home a few weeks ago, and I immediately fell into my old "road rage" nature. Roadblocks, one-way streets, no parking anywhere, road works, the whole Place des Arts area gridlocked due to the Jazz Fest preparations, Saint-Laurent blocked for cars (which is a good thing, except it makes driving even on adjacent streets a nightmare), … you name it! The list never ends.

You know, for a relatively small city of 2-3.5 million (depending on wether you include the suburbs), we suffer from a MAJOR traffic/congestion problem.

On the real estate side, you know how recently a lot of buildings mushroomed in the whole festival area, with a few more on the way? I would NEVER even consider buying anythere there, EVER! Regardless of price! Can you imagine not being able to get home during a couple months every summer: Jazz Fest, Film Fest, Francofolies, Just for Laughs … I would lose my mind! Not to mention the noise!

Considering that Montreal has many projects going on in the city by "2025", I think we'll be seeing many construction roadblocks like that one over the next forseeable 15 yrs. Btw, I think this site http://www.montreal2025.com/ might prove to be interesting in keeping track of certain projects going around the city :)
