MONTREAL, Feb. 11, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ - The Office de consultation
publique de Montréal announces that it will hold a public consultation
on the future of the Saint-Raymond neighbourhood and the development of
the area surrounding the new MUHC campus in N.D.G.
Citizens are invited to an activity that will be held in two parts on
Tuesday, February 12. For the first part, beginning at 4:00 p.m. in the
basement of Trinity Church (2146 Marlowe Avenue, Vendôme Metro
Station), they are invited to visit the booths of numerous
organizations involved in the project. These include the school board,
on the planned opening of a new school in the neighbourhood, and Ville
de Montréal, on bicycle paths and the development of the Upper
Lachine/Crawley/Girouard tunnel.
The second part, beginning at 7:30 p.m., will feature presentations on
various topics of interest, such as the densification of the
neighbourhood, real estate development, affordable housing,
transportation, notably active transportation, the Saint-Jacques cliff,
the future of Upper Lachine Road, traffic on Saint-Jacques Street, and
numerous other subjects. The presentations will be followed by a
question period allowing citizens and groups to obtain all the
information they want on the issues involved.
That exercise will be followed, four weeks later, by a hearing of
opinions allowing those who wish to do so to express their views on the
issues involved in the consultation. The first hearing of opinions will
be held on Monday, March 11, at 7:00 p.m., at the Centre communautaire
Saint-Raymond, located at 5600 Upper Lachine Road. To present an
opinion, you must register with the Office no later than March 7, by
calling Gilles Vézina at 514 872-8510, or registering directly at
ocpm.qc.ca/inscription.
All available information on the project may be obtained at the offices
of the OCPM, at 1550 Metcalfe Street, Suite 1414, and at the Direction
du greffe at City Hall, 275 Notre-Dame Street East. The documentation
is also available on the Office Web site, at www.ocpm.qc.ca.
