MONTREAL Quebec s ministry of transport announced Tuesday the formation of an expert committee to oversee the $10-billion extension of the REM light-rail network to the east end of Montreal. Maud Cohen, an engineer and president and director general of the Fondation CHU Sainte-Justine, will head the 15-member multi-disciplinary committee, which includes urban planners and architects. The Montreal architectural firm Lemay will work with the committee to develop guidelines for integrating the eastern REM into the urban landscape. Last December, three partners behind the project announced it would extend the network to Montreal North and Pointe-aux-Trembles, adding 32 kilometres and 23 stations.
