I often wonder what the skyline of Calgary would look like if there weren't so so many twin & triple developments in the core!

Montreal does have a lot of very nice lighting features.

I also heard someone say recently that it's actually one of the worst cities in the world for light pollution.

Just googling it I found this article. Not sure how accurate it is but Montreal and Toronto rank 3 and 5 in terms of metro areas. Calgary and Edmonton are high up on the city rankings.

6. Buenos Aires, Argentina, 3.5 times brighter
5. Toronto, Canada, 3.6 times brighter
4. Chicago, USA, 4.5 times brighter
3. Montréal, Canada, 4.8 times brighter
2. Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, 6.7 times brighter
1. Moscow, Russia, 8.1 times brighter

hydro-electricity is relatively inexpensive. I find roads/highways much more lit up in Quebec than in Ontario.

It would look better. Montreal also has quite a few twins, and they detract rather than enhance when doubled.

Thats what many people says to me when I did my video of the ''Montréal Freeway system at night''. I didn't realize it until that moment how our roads & Freeways are very well lit up in this province...good thing cause I'm not a huge fan of driving at night.

Merci !...Mais deux ans après je me rend compte que j'ai un peu trop exagéré sur le nombre de panneaux et les informations au bas de l'écran, ça devenait déconcentrant ... je me suis calmé depuis ce temps, c'est l'expérience qui rentre
