ville-marie Union sur le parc - 20, 20 étages (2020)

Concernant le Pavillon, je l'affronte sans aucune hésitation. N'importe quand, pas de troub. Ça fait ton bonheur?

 

Elle a raison sur plusieurs choses, je n'ai JAMAIS dit le contraire, mais je n'ai aucune honte, whatsoever, à sévèrement critiquer certaines de ses dernières interventions (ou NON-intervention). Elle n'est pas le Saint-Esprit non plus.

 

Ohlala tout ça est très puéril.

Elle n'est pas sortie sur la place publique pour parler du Marché St-Jacques, du Brickfields, de la TDC2 et du Victoire. Ça doit te mettre hors de toi tout ce silence.

Question parc il y a le parc cabot et aussi le parc en face de centre canadien d'architecture.

 

Par contre je ne voudrai pas que l'on abattent les arbres en bordure de la voie ferrée.

Je pense qu'ils voulaient plutôt un parc pour enfants

Je ferais remarquer qu'un parc pour enfants exige une limitation de la vitesse à 30km/h, pas trop intéressant pour une grande artère comme R-L.

Je crois que tout le monde s'entend que ce n'est pas un bon terrain pour un parc et qu'il devrait servir à sa vocation résidentielle.

 

Mais si les citoyens du quartier réussissent à pousser la ville à leur faire un parc ailleurs dans le quartier avec ce moyen de pression, tant mieux pour eux.

Pour les gens du secteur qui recherchent plus de verdure et de l'espace vert pour les enfants, je suis d'accord que cet espace entre René-Lévesque l'autoroute n'est pas idéal du tout. Cependant, avec une reconfiguration du secteur, grâce au changement de vocation de l'hôpital Children, il est possible d'avoir plus d'espace vert pour les enfants.

 

Voici une vision que j'ai concoctée: http://www.mtlurb.com/forums/showthread.php/24064-Hopital-Children-Pour-enfant?p=255313#post255313

Ce qu'il faut retenir :

 

Les préoccupations des citoyens sont légitimes et le projet n’est acceptable que sous réserve que l’arrondissement procède dans les meilleurs délais à l’aménagement d’espaces verts additionnels et s’assure que, dans les prochains projets développés dans le quartier, les besoins en espaces communautaires et équipements collectifs soient comblés.

 

Par ailleurs, il est aussi proposé de baisser légèrement, de 60 à 54 mètres, les hauteurs demandées afin de préserver les vues du fleuve et de la montagne prescrites dans le Plan d’urbanisme.

 

Autrement dit, le projet sera assurément adopté tel quel.

Downtown condo tower project criticized for lack of green space

RENÉ BRUEMMER, MONTREAL GAZETTE

More from René Bruemmer, Montreal Gazette

Published on: August 11, 2016 | Last Updated: August 11, 2016 7:54 PM EDT

 

 

There is a marked lack of “social acceptability” and a high level of disappointment among downtown residents over a proposal to build two 19-storey condominium high-rises on René-Lévesque Blvd., a report from Montreal’s public consultation board revealed Thursday.

 

Residents worry the twin towers will create a soaring architectural blight in a community of low-rise buildings and Victorian-style homes. They’re concerned the towers will loom over two adjoining heritage buildings and render them insignificant.

 

Most of all, they’re disappointed the one remaining possibility for a large green space and perhaps a soccer field in their high-density neighbourhood is likely lost. And this after years of efforts by community groups and residents that resulted in an official urban plan adopted in 2012 that prioritized the need for green spaces, community centres and playgrounds.

 

When a former Franciscan chapel and monastery on René-Lévesque Blvd. near Fort St. burned down in 2010, citizens thought their opportunity had come and pressed for a large park. Instead, the Ville-Marie borough approved developer Prével’s plans for two condominium towers housing 360 units. Last April, Montreal’s city council raised the maximum building height at the site from 25 to 60 metres. The Ville-Marie borough, overseen by Mayor Denis Coderre, used a provision in the city charter that allows it to bar local residents from holding a referendum on the issue.

 

In its report on the public consultations held in the spring and summer, the Office de consultation publique de Montréal commends Prével for preserving two 19th-century villas and their gardens in their development plan, and for creating a public garden in front of the towers, and a park at the back of the property on the edge of the Ville-Marie Expressway that will be open to the public.

 

While the public consultation bureau said it is in favour of changing the vocation of the property to allowed a mixed-used residential and commercial building that will include social housing, the concerns expressed by the majority of the 200 people and community members who attended the public consultations, 50 of whom spoke before commissioners and 42 of whom deposited briefs, brings serious reservations.

 

 

While the development project demonstrates a commendable effort by the promoter to present a quality project that responds to the initial objectives of the local urban plan … it nevertheless brings a serious problem of social acceptability that the borough must address.

 

“The commission feels the preoccupations of citizens are legitimate and it will not rule in favour of allowing the height increase and the change of vocation of the site, except under the condition that the borough works as soon as possible to create additional green spaces and to ensure that in future development projects in the area, the needs of more community spaces and outdoor recreational equipment are addressed.”

 

The commission suggests the borough create a proper park once the former Montreal Children’s Hospital is redeveloped.

 

Among its recommendations, the committee suggests improved measures be put in place to protect the Masson and Judah villas, both owned by the Franciscans. The parks to be built by Prével need to be more accessible to all citizens, and a public advisory committee needs to be appointed to ensure the architectural design of the buildings and its landscaping fits in with its surroundings, which include the ornate Canadian Centre for Architecture building. Commissioners also recommended dropping the maximum height to 54 metres to not impede views of the St. Lawrence River.

 

For longtime advocates like Stéphane Febbrari Vermette, coordinator of the Peter McGill Community Council, the report was a disappointment. In a community of 34,000 people where four out of five of residents live in apartment buildings of five storeys or more, the lack of green spaces is a huge deterrent to families considering putting down roots.

 

“We’ve been mobilizing for five years to have a large public park because we are lacking so much,” he said. “As it is kids don’t have a place to play soccer or Frisbee or whatever outside sport there is in a nearby area. So we are very disappointed.”

 

Previous reports, notably for the local urban plan, also stressed the needs for parks in the future, yet nothing was done.

 

“Now we have this great option, but instead again we have people saying, ‘Let’s do it in the future, but for this project we are okay with the towers.’ You can see why people are skeptical.”

 

Officials at the city of Montreal said they were studying the report and did not return requests for an interview.
