The Ministère des Transports du Québec (MTQ) has agreed to have a public consultation meeting in NDG. For some reason they “forgot” NDG when they held their consultations in October.The last consultation was in St-Henri with over 250 residents present, many of whom had the opportunity to ask the representatives from MTQ questions.
If this project goes according to plan, there will be a lot of changes in our part of town. Businesses and homes will be expropriated. There will be increased traffic in residential areas. Lower NDG will be essentially cut off from the rest of the city until the construction is finished. The already fragile St-Jacques escarpment/park would be threatened.
The Green Party of Quebec has posted three questions they would like to have addressed, to read them visit: neath.wordpress.com
Transport Quebec has a website about the project at: www.mtq.gouv.qc.ca/portal/page/portal/regions/montreal_ile/projet_reconstruction_complexe_turcot
The public consultation meeting in NDG is open to anyone who wants to learn more about the project and ask questions. So if you live in St-Henri, Cote-St-Paul, NDG, Ville-St-Pierre, Verdun…please go to the meeting, it is important.
