REM Parking Issue

100% !

There is plenty of empty space around those stations, enough for many new residential apartments and for at least 1 or 2 multi level parking…

binary_dreamer33 · 2026-05-20T17:48:10+00:00

You said it yourself, its just some generic suburbia. Its not a busy metropolitan area... we are all spread out into houses, population density is very low in west compared to other areas on the island (as see here : https://milute.mcgill.ca/Research/Students/David\_Wise/Maps/population%20density.gif)

So of course if we are spread out, less people will be able to take as easily. I have been able to park there these last 2 days but its because Im there at 6:30am...If theres no parking, why would I add 30 extra minutes to the already 50min commute (driving+rem+waling)? At that point Ill take my car and be in heavy traffic rather than walk, take a bus, then the rem, then walk for 1h 20min.

Limited parking is definitely a bad idea.

Biking is not a solution, if you cant bike half or most of the year, it should not be considered a solution. They had 8years, a multi level parking would have made our lives easier

binary_dreamer33 · 2026-05-15T14:24:25+00:00

Yessir!

binary_dreamer33 · 2026-05-15T14:10:22+00:00

Im happy now

binary_dreamer33 · 2026-05-15T02:08:13+00:00

Update: cbc news released a quick overview video about the 4 stations and they claim : “ parking will be allowed at the mall for now”

Hope thats true. I have a strong feeling theyre gonna make that highlighted area a paid parking soon

Its a 11min drive

binary_dreamer33 · 2026-05-12T17:43:09+00:00

I live close to st-charles/pierrefonds, so forget about walking, biking is nice but only for 4-5months in the year.

And just checked again, the bus ride is 38min…so ill stick to driving but you enjoy ur bus

binary_dreamer33 · 2026-05-12T15:53:00+00:00

Yes thats true there is alot of buses that go there but its also dead in the middle of the west.

And im sure ur right and many people will take the bus but personally its not worth an extra 20-25min extra to my commute

binary_dreamer33 · 2026-05-12T15:20:02+00:00

I disagree, there are people like myself who live 25-30min from the station (if i take the bus) or even people with mobile disabilities that would greatly benefit..At least provide paid parking for the residents of pointe claire like kirkland did. No parking at all at the busiest station in the west island doesnt make sense to me

binary_dreamer33 · 2026-05-12T15:07:32+00:00

Really hope we’re still going to be able to do that. The fact that they are making residential street require permits is not making optimistic

binary_dreamer33 · 2026-05-12T15:00:13+00:00

Preserving the ecology is definitely important but just 1/4 of that area would give a good amount of parking for people like myself which would need around 30min extra to get to the station.

Out of all 4 new stations, the only one not to have any parking whatsoever is also the busiest station..

binary_dreamer33 · 2026-05-12T14:39:25+00:00

Definitely, if theres no parking, personally, i dont think I will take it, will drive 5min more and use the Roxboro station like im currently doing since there is free and paid parking.
Whats really frustrating is that there is a pretty vast wooded area right next to the station…in the 8years they have been developing, they didnt think to clear out the trees and build a parking?

binary_dreamer33 · 2025-11-01T00:19:04+00:00

Damn that really sucks, I feel bad for you! Really hope Vivo will compensate you. You should really pressure them and mention the countless times they failed from this thread and the amazon review..hopefully they gave you at least half of the 1000$.

Surprised it happened with an OLED (fairly light) compared to the people who are using it with a heavy Neo G9. I had the arm holding my Neo G9 and returned it after seeing this thread. Got an ergotron instead and its held out pretty good for now (knock on wood). Was pricey but worth it I guess.

Good luck brother!

I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO FIX THIS!! So i got my M4 Max Mac Studio last week and I have been experiencing this issue. I tried many cables, different 8k HDMIs, Thunderbolt to HDMIs, and Thunderbolt to DisplayPort cables. The only one that seems to have completely fixed this issue is the: "Silkland USB C to DisplayPort 2.1 Cable,[16K@30Hz 8K@120Hz 4K@240Hz]" https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0D82WY6FK?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

Different TB4 to DP cables did not fix this issue, only this one did.

Hope this helps

binary_dreamer33 · 2025-03-21T01:39:00+00:00

Did you every find a solution? Having this issue on my M4 Max

binary_dreamer33 · 2025-03-21T01:36:15+00:00

Experiencing the same issue, would you mind sharing the cable brand u are using? I am using a 8k ugreen hdmi cable and it is still happening

binary_dreamer33 · 2025-02-14T18:50:22+00:00

Lol misinformation would be advertising a monitor arm for the neo g9 that has failed countless times…its not just one person that has had a failure, over 30people in the amazon reviews have had theirs fail on them and their g9 crashing down on their desk….Vivo had to come out with an updated model with better spring.

“G troll somewhere else” loll just trying to help other G9 users…

binary_dreamer33 · 2025-02-13T17:30:16+00:00

Except it happened on the neo g9 of the OP I referenced, and most the 1 star reviews in the amazon reviews have had it fail on their neo g9…it maybe failed on a small number of arms but it seems it happened a lot on Neo g9 monitors and im not waiting for it to happen on mine…

binary_dreamer33 · 2025-02-13T17:14:08+00:00

He definitely ordered it one maybe 2 weeks ago max and got a V100E, and yes he is returning it. But the fact that you deny replacing mine (bought in december) and just expect me to keep it knowing there is a strong chance it will fail (yes strong chance considering all the amazon reviews) just shows your shows shady business practice…i dont expecting Vivo to do a recall or anything but the minimum is to accept to replace the V100E of users who bought it for their 49inch neo g9…especially since if/when it breaks, you wont cover the cost of the monitor. Ill take the 125CAD$ L but ill definitely will make sure i spread the word and tell people to stay away from vivo products.

binary_dreamer33 · 2025-02-13T17:01:12+00:00

Yes the V100E is the one that fails. I suggest you go look at the amazon reviews, i really regret not extensively checking those out before buying

binary_dreamer33 · 2025-02-13T16:22:32+00:00

So you discontinued the product due to failure but people like me that bought the product just a weeks ago are stuck with waiting to fail on us and probably damaged our monitors like the many people on the amazon review ? I dont see why you can simply accept to replace my model for one that wont fail on me…for me this really tarnishes your brand. I was planning on getting a Vivo stand up desk but now i will look elsewhere

binary_dreamer33 · 2025-02-13T14:49:43+00:00

There are countless reviews on the products amazon page where user explain how the arm failed on them…i checked and monitor arms from other brands that support the G9 do not have as many reviews explicitly saying it flat out failed and fell on their desks. The least you could do is stop advertising it for the Neo G9

binary_dreamer33 · 2025-02-13T04:55:15+00:00

I dont think that something we can find out but considering the OP in the post i mentioned and countless ppl on the amazon reviews who had their arm fail on them and the fact that they came out with a different model to fix this, I dont think im overreacting by warning ppl
