Automated region boundary proposal

We’ve received the first submission through our new automated region-boundary editor!

The proposal would move 641 map cells from the Montreal region into the Laurentides region. The reasoning is that Laval currently sits in the middle of the Montreal region, while much of the North Shore is geographically associated with Laurentides and the YMX area.

The automated submission and review system is still being improved. We’re considering adding preview images and other tools to make proposed boundary changes easier to understand. For now, we’re opening this proposal for community discussion.

Anyone operating in Montreal, Laval, the North Shore, Laurentides, or surrounding areas is encouraged to review the change and share any concerns, corrections, or objections. The discussion period will remain open for the next several days. Unless significant concerns or a better alternative are raised, the proposed regional change will be implemented. Thanks to Magister for submitting the first region-boundary proposal!

I live in Montréal and operate YUL-Cartierville and YUL-UpperSalaberry which are located in the H4J postal code.

Laval should NOT be part of Laurentides. Any confusion about that is the result of a really bad knowledge of the area.

It should be part of Montréal. Montréal’s transit system should be used as a general guildeline here. The area covered by STM, STL, RTL and REM, as well as EXO trains should all be considered as being part of the Montréal region for the mesh. Basically, the area under ARTM jurisdiction.

The Montreal mesh region should encompass Zones A, B, and C. These three zones are a unit in terms of metropolitan area, are pretty much contiguously populated and should not be broken down because it is a whole.

This proposed seems ill-informed as to the reality of the Greater Montreal Area.

Blainville should be the first agglomeration which could be part of the Laurentides. And even then, people could argue that St-Jerôme is the real cutoff and I’d tend to agree with them.

But in no way shape or form does it make any sense to stretch the Laurentide region all the way to encompass Laval. That’s absolutely ridiculous.

Please reconsider and halt this nonsense.
