OCPM Announces Public Consultation on Bonaventure Expressway Transformation Project

It is this coming week that the Office de consultation publique de Montréal (OCPM) is launching the consultation process on the transformation project for the Bonaventure Expressway, at the limit of the boroughs of Sud-Ouest and Ville-Marie.

At the request of the Ville de Montréal, the Société du Havre de Montréal has prepared a detailed pre-project design report on the redevelopment of the Bonaventure Expressway, proposing the transformation of the expressway into an arterial urban road between Saint-Jacques and Brennan Streets, and the establishment of a living neighbourhood, on land freed up by the project, as a new downtown gateway. The report also proposes the development of an exclusive, dedicated corridor for public transportation along Dalhousie Street.

The development concept involves central city blocks, the Canadian National rail viaduct, the western frontage of the Récollets faubourg, the De la Commune city block to the south, the Dalhousie corridor to the west, and the transformation of the Bonaventure corridor where the expressway will be brought to ground level and transformed into an arterial urban road.

The Office de consultation publique received the mandate from the Montréal executive committee to consult the public on the project. Various issues will be examined at three information sessions in the next days , on November 24 and 26, and December 1, at 7:00 p.m. On the first evening, representatives of the Société du Havre will present the project and surrounding context. The second evening will be devoted to the viability and liveability of the new neighbourhood created by the project, while the third will focus on transportation issues, including the choice of the Dalhousie corridor. The three meetings will be held in the halls of the Cathédrale Marie-Reine-du-Monde, 1110 Mansfield Street (Peel Metro). Citizens who attend will have the opportunity to ask any question they like about the project

The presentation of briefs will take place on Tuesday, January 12, at 7:00 p.m., at the offices of the OCPM, 1550 Metcalfe Street, 14th floor (Peel Metro).
