Implementation measures

• Improve access to tourist sites:
  • Improve the design of certain streets and boulevards in order to strengthen the links between various areas of interest (see Objective 7);
  • Support the implementation of a rail shuttle between Montréal – Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport and the Centre (see Objective 3);
  • Encourage the development of a public transportation service such as a modern tramway system linking the Quartier des spectacles, Old Montréal, the Havre, Parc Jean-Drapeau and Mount Royal (see Objective 3 et Section 4.15).
• Improve the Centre’s major tourism areas:
  • Protect and enhance the Historic District of Old Montréal (see Objective 15);
  • Complete the development of the Old Port and enhance the banks of Île Notre-Dame and Île Sainte-Hélène.
• Support the construction of a trade and exhibition centre in the Centre or its immediate vicinity, with the capacity to accommodate events of international stature.

Mount Royal and the Havre each require a detailed planning process, whose guidelines are presented in Chapter 4. A similar approach will apply to the Quartier des spectacles and the CBD, in order to increase their tourist appeal.
