Dr. C.K., the man who loves P.K.

The Habs are having  a pretty good start to their season. Carey Price is back in net but still, some fans are stuck in last year.

P.K. Subban’s biggest fan lamented the trade of the star defenceman in an expensive newspaper ad and then this week he backed that up with a massive donation to the Montreal Children’s Hospital this week.

5:25 Focus Montreal: There’s an app for that?

Urban planning; there’s an app for that?

It has been nothing short of a nightmare season for construction in Montreal with major projects underway.

Getting stuck in traffic has become a daily rite of passage leaving many Montrealers wondering if there isn’t a better way of planning for this stuff.

Well , there’s an app for that now.

The city launched MTL Trajet on Monday. It’s an app designed to log the commutes of Montrealers in real time to help the city plan its urban transportation network more efficiently.

The app is available as a free download and asks Montrealers to track at least 25 trips by either car, bus, train or metro over the next month.

The app was developed by Concordia’s transportation research for integrated planning lab at the city’s request.

Concordia University geography, urban planning and environment professor, Zachary Patterson is one of the developers working on MTL Trajet.

Patterson dropped by Focus Montreal to discuss how the app is  helping the city of Montreal plan its traffic flow better.
