ville-marie Square Dorchester et Place du Canada: réaménagement

[Rocco]

Ça prendrait une fontaine (en fait, n'y en avait-il pas une de prévue?)

Effectivement une fontaine à la française à la place de l'ilôt de fleurs plus ou moins utile actuellement. Pourquoi mettre la fontaine décalée au coin de Peel? Absurde.

[Monsieur_MA]

Actuellement, il y a le lion avec son minuscule jet et son abreuvoir pour chiens qui fait office de fontaine.

I would really like to see a Metro entrance in the southern portion of Place-Du-Canada.

 

I remember seeing a sign that said that the long connection to the Bell Centre was closed during (or before and after) events. Is that true? If that is the case, could an additional point of egress here be a solution?

[Monsieur_MA]

Une nouvelle entrée de métro serait l'occasion d'installer un ascenseur qui relirait le niveau rue au niveau billetterie. Cela rendrait les actuels ascenseurs qui relient le niveau billetterie au niveau quais plus utiles.

En attendant, l'entrée la plus près est celle située sur la rue de la Cathédrale au coin de la Gauchetière.

There is an underground tunnel passing just underneat La Gauchetiere right below place du canada. And this tunnel could continue underneat la rue des canadiens from 1250 rene-Levesque tower to reach Bell Center north side and why not going more west to reach Lucien Lallier Station.

Expansion of tunnel in blue to reach Bell Center north red circle and lucien lallier station. Could add an entrance south of Place du Canada red circle.

Dans le corridor, juste en haut des 2 sets d'escaliers roulants (le rond orange), on peut voir dans le mur derrière la brique que le mur ne semble pas complètement plein, donc on peux toujours espérer qu'il percent une sortie dans la Place du Canada

Montreal says Dorchester Square renovation delayed for at least a year

 

Montreal seems to have a problem with renovation planning.

 

The city is delaying another high-profile project. This time it’s the final phase of the Dorchester Square makeover, which was supposed to start in August 2016 and be completed by August 2017.

 

The $4.2-million project targeted the northern part of the square and Dorchester-Square St., home to downtown Montreal’s main tourism office, where the sidewalks and roadway are crumbling.

 

The original timeline was announced in February, when the city approved a $709,000 contract for design work and tender specifications.

 

Montreal is postponing the project because, among other reasons, it doesn’t want the downtown square to be a construction site during the city’s 375th anniversary in 2017, Renée Pageau, a city spokesperson, told the Montreal Gazette.

 

She said the city is not sure when Dorchester Square will be renovated but does not expect the delay to increase costs. She said work would begin “at the earliest toward the end of 2017.”

 

It’s unclear why city hall did not consider the impact on 375th festivities when it scheduled the work in February. Montreal started making announcements about the 375th in 2014.

 

The city has postponed several projects in recent months.

 

Shelved projects include the renovations of Place Jacques-Cartier (the bid was too high), Viger Square (the city does not have the go-ahead from Quebec) and the Biodôme (bids came in at twice the amount expected).

 

Under the Dorchester Square plan, the vespasienne (an octagonal building that was once a public washroom) is to be renovated and a new fountain installed. Granite paths and bridges over parking-lot ramps are also planned. Part of Dorchester-Square St. will be partly taken over by green space.

 

In 2010, the city finished renovating the southern part of Dorchester Square at a cost of $5.4 million.

 

Work on the northern section, initially expected to be completed in the spring of 2011, has been repeatedly delayed.

 

Dorchester-Square St. was closed for 18 months over 2011-2012 so the city could fix the deficient concrete roof slab of the parking lot under the street. In 2012, citing concerns about corruption and collusion, the city temporarily stopped signing construction contracts.

 

Then the city’s focus turned to an adjacent square — Place du Canada, to the south of Dorchester Square. Place du Canada reopened in November 2015 after a $10-million renovation.

 

Initially known as Dominion Square, in 1989 the southern part of the public space was re-christened Place du Canada and the northern section Dorchester Square.

Square Dorchester:

Cette semaine, des employés de la ville ont retiré la pelouse du côté de la rue Metcalfe. Ce matin la pose de gazon en rouleau débutait.

Il y avait quelques petites réparations à effectuer mais dans l'ensemble, la pelouse semblait globalement en bon état. Pourquoi a-t-il été nécessaire de la remplacer?

[nephersir7]

Mise à jour:

Les plans et devis seront réalisés en trois phases (phase 3 de septembre 2017 à novembre 2017, sépultures de septembre 2017 à janvier 2018, phase 4 de janvier 2018 à septembre 2018)

Les travaux seront réalisés en trois phases (phase 3 de avril 2018 à mai 2019, sépultures de octobre 2018 à mai 2019, phase 4 de avril 2019 à juin 2020).
