ville-marie Le Quartier des spectacles

[monctezuma]

Avec ce qui s'est passé avec le Quartier International, je n,ai aucuns doutes que le Quartier des Spectacles sera un aussi gros succès, sinon un plus gros succès.

 

J'ai hâte de voir ce que ça va donner dans 3-4 ans!

 

Pour citer Mr. Labonté :

 

''Lorsque le Quartier des spectacles sera terminé, on pourra se dire que le QIM aura été une belle pratique''

De plus, le QIMTL était un projet qui couvrait une plus grande partie de la ville et qui en avait un très urgent besoin. Tout cela a permis de relier le Vieux-Montréal au centre-ville et avec la rue McGill, le Vieux-Port au centre-ville également. Cela a déjà un impact dans le Quartier du Multi-Média.

Le territoire couvert par la réfection du Quartier des Spectacles est-il aussi étendu ? Chose certaine, cela permettra de refaire le tissu urbaine à l'est de La Baie jusqu'à la PDA.

Je crois que c'est un des deux morceaux manquants pour faire le lien entre le centre ville et le village.

 

Le quartier des spectacles ne va pas assez à l'est à mon gout.

I also thought the Quartier des spectacles was supposed to be much bigger.

Is the city catering solely to the Jazz fest godfathers?

What about the Quartier Latin - it has just as many theatre seats, plus the Grande Bibliotheque.

The Quartier des spectacles is supposed to be between deBleury to Berri.

They have to get rid of the HLM Jeanne Mance and make way for a urban oasis in the middle of downtown.

We need skyscrapers and developments - but we also need a place to sit under a tree.

Face it... if you're downtown - you've got a ways to go before you can walk barefoot on the grass.

Why should the B.S. have subsidized apartments, parking and all those satelite dishes smack dab in the middle of downtown. What does it contribute to the city? It's nothing but a ghetto. Trash it and expand le Quartier des spectacles to the village.

Je ne serais pas surpris que le projet s'étende dans un futur très rapproché au Quartier Latin. Comme vous le sous-entendez vous-même, c'est une suite logique au projet.

Because that's where the previous municipal administrations thought would be a good place for an HLM. I agree that the Jeanne-Mance HLM's are a blight on the downtown landscape, but could you imagine the uproar if the city tried to move these people from Jeanne-Mance. We would have FRAPRU and all the other organizations rioting in the streets!

call to arms and civil war.

 

but seriously, these HLM need to be moved

[mtl_yul]

I suggest that if ever the proposal comes up - that all those who are for march down in the streets to agree - so that if there a few 100 of them - we can have as many turn out - negating their effort.

I do know the city is seriously considering not renovating the buildings.

[mtlurb]

the last thing i heard about them is that the city wanted to start selling parts of the land, take the profits and build new housing elsewhere or more condensed on the remainder of the lot.

 

Can you imagine how much money these lands are worth!?!?!

If you look at the map on page marked '3' of the PDF (actually page 7 of the document), the area targeted is a sub-area of the QDS.
