Capital works: Bonaventure a go, Cavendish in 2020, no date for Notre-Dame

The city of Montreal will complete the transformation of the Bonaventure Expressway into an urban boulevard by 2017, Mayor Denis Coderre said Wednesday.

 

The project, to bring the downtown expressway that leads to the Champlain Bridge to ground level, is one of the priorities outlined in the city’s three-year capital works budget, made public on Wednesday. Coderre said the Bonaventure, which will be renamed Robert-Bourassa Blvd., is one of the legacy projects to mark the city’s 375th anniversary in 2017 at a cost of $74.1 million.

 

“Of course (it will be completed in time),” Coderre said.

 

The project, which would bring more green space into the area south of downtown, is seen as a key element of developing Griffintown, a former industrial neighbourhood undergoing a major transformation. Hundreds of millions in public and private funds will be poured into the downtown neighbourhood over the next decade to build condos, shopping centres, parks and an improved road infrastructure.

 

However, the Bonaventure transformation has been mired in delays since it was first announced in 2002.

 

Coderre said the city is trying to improve its success rate in completing projects, and Bonaventure is one of several delayed projects he has committed to rectify. He has also pledged to complete the extension of Cavendish Blvd., linking Notre-Dame-de-Grâce and Côte-St-Luc with Town of Mount Royal and St-Laurent, through the old Blue Bonnets racetrack. The link, which has been talked about for more that 70 years, would give Côte-St-Luc residents better access to the Namur métro station, and would also be an alternative to the often-jammed Décarie Expressway. The link would also be a key access to a planned residential development around the former horse racing track.

 

The Cavendish project was also outlined in Wednesday’s 2015 to 2017 capital works budget, though construction will start in 2020, or 2019 “with an aggressive time frame,” according to the document made public Wednesday. It’s expected the work will last three years and cost $129 million, excluding costs to acquire the land for the roadway.

 

While the completion of Cavendish will be good news for west-end residents, those in the east end will have to wait longer for the modernization of Notre-Dame St., a project which has also been delayed several decades.

 

While the budget lists Notre-Dame as one of the city’s major projects, there is no time frame for when work will start.

 

Coderre said the city had to make priorities, and Notre-Dame didn’t make the cut.

 

“There’s only so much we can do,” he said, adding that the city is still in the planning stages of that project to outline exactly how it will look and how it would integrate with an eventual bus-rapid-transit network. “It’s a work in progress.”

Regarding the Cavendish extension, which segment was promised? Both or just the CSL extension?

La confirmation de la conversion de l'autoroute Bonaventure en boulevard Robert-Bourassa pour 2017 est une excellente nouvelle. Pour parachever le tout, le nouveau stade des Expos au bassin Peel serait une belle juteuse cerise sur le gâteau.

Was that some kind of huge parking lot by the river? Was it being used during construction of the Champlain bridge or something? It goes on for kilometers!!!
