montréal Modernisation rue Notre-Dame

[IluvMTL]

MONTREAL — Quebec is working on a plan to remove trucks from Notre-Dame St., improve car and bus flow, free up land for industrial and residential development and improve the Port of Montreal’s efficiency.

 

But it’s not sure how much the project might cost or when it could be carried out.

 

On Friday, Quebec Transport Minister Silvain Gaudreault and Mayor Michael Applebaum announced they will work together to study the proposal but could not say when that preparatory work will be completed.

 

The governments want a two-pronged approach:

 

Improve Highway 25 links to the port. New southbound and northbound highway accesses would be built.

 

Extend L’Assomption Blvd. from Hochelaga St. to Notre-Dame St. (about 1.3 kilometres), providing another link between the port and Highway 25. Souligny Ave. would be extended to the new stretch of L’Assomption.

 

Gaudreault said the project is a priority for Quebec because it would improve the movement of goods and reduce the number of trucks on Notre-Dame.

 

About 1,500 trucks travel through this area daily, the port says. Those trucks clog car and bus traffic and traffic spills onto adjacent residential streets.

 

Applebaum said the project will make it possible to develop than 300,000 square metres of industrial space that is now vacant but inaccessible. The city estimates projects on the land would help create 1,000 jobs.

 

Réal Ménard, city executive committee member for transport, said the work will also allow for the construction of about 1,500 residential units around the nearby Assomption métro station.

 

Port of Montreal chief executive Sylvie Vachon said the new roads will “improve operational efficiency and make the Montreal supply chain ... more effective.”

 

The new roads would allow a truck to exit Highway 25, and immediately enter the port. Once there, the truck could pick up or deliver goods, then travel west on port property to reach L’Asssomption, from which they could reach Highway 25 again.

 

Gaudreault said he would not provide a cost estimate until studies are completed.

 

The Parti Québécois government won’t repeat errors of the previous Liberal government, which promised projects with lowball estimates and unrealistic timelines, Gaudreault said. Many of those projects experienced cost-overruns or were never actually budgeted, he added.

 

“We’re going to do things differently,” Gaudreault said.

 

“If I told you it was going to cost $100 million and then after the studies it turns out to cost $300 million, you’d be the first to reproach me for over-runs,” he told a reporter.

 

Gaudreault would not provide a timeline for the projects or the studies.

 

When pressed, he said the earliest the proposed work could be added to Quebec’s infrastructure budget is 2015 when the province outlines its plans for 2015-2017.

 

Quebec and the city of Montreal would share the cost of the road projects.

Chemin du Roy

 

La rue Notre-Dame Est est l’une des plus vieilles de l’île de Montréal. Elle forme également un segment du chemin du Roy, la toute première grande route carrossable en Nouvelle-France. Ouvert en 1737 le long de la rive nord du fleuve Saint-Laurent, ce chemin relie les villes de Montréal et de Québec. Sur l’île de Montréal, la rue Notre-Dame est d’abord aménagée au cœur de la vieille ville, puis prolongée jusqu’à l’extrémité est de l’île. Son histoire est à la fois urbaine et agricole puisqu’elle a longtemps été l’artère la plus importante de Montréal et l’axe de développement des côtes de l’est de l’île.

Elle est bonne

 

Mais bon, si Projet Montréal était au pouvoir, ce serait plutôt un tramway qu'il pourrait emprunter sur cet axe...
