Kinda neat considering the current election focus on transportation, and the discussion around the Turcot.  These are the guys who set the stage for what exists now.  &#8216;Circulation&#8217; is seen from the problem\/solution perspective, and the footage shows &#8216;problem&#8217; areas, in what would be considered very low traffic volumes today! <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The film also features a hilarious relief map of Mont Royal and surrounding areas and an appearance by Jean Drapeau &#8211; the mayor responsible for the construction of the Montreal Metro system. <strong>NOTE<\/strong>: We checked the archives and there doesn&#8217;t appear to be a version with English subtitles yet. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Editor: Spacing has partnered with the National Film Board of Canada to showcase films from their new online screening room.
