CSL to Hampstead: Remove all Fleet restrictions

In my opinion, Hampstead’s latest changes to the lights on Fleet are indeed an improvement to the horrendous traffic jams caused by their ill-advised tampering with the synchronized lights. Hampstead now permits left turns (eastbound) during morning rush hour at only one intersection, Queen Mary Road. And the traffic that is now restricted to Fleet slows down in Hampstead all the way to Decarie.
Hampstead’s tampering with Fleet turns the spotlight of this east-west arterial congestion onto the long awaited synchronization along the Fleet/Van-Horne corridor. This would truly be an improvement and is long overdue from the merger years.

I agree 100%! If the whole of Fleet/Van Horne between Cavendish and Decarie had synchronized traffic lights, along with reparing or paving the Montreal section, it would be a drivers paradise! And a long awaited one by those who use it daily. So simple but overlooked – I wonder why?
