Master Plan Fermer

Planning guidelines

1 Redevelop the immediate surroundings of the railway corridor with appropriate activites.
2 Encourage the preservation of old industrial buildings that offer potential for reuse.
3 Favour residential construction in certain parts of the area, especially on the site of the Outremont railyard, in continuity with the already built-up area and accompanied by an adequate buffer zone along the railway corridor.
4 Review the street grid and the design of certain parts of the area in light of the planned uses.
5 Minimize the nuisances generated by railway operations in adjacent living environments by applying appropriate mitigation measures.
6 Examine the relocation of businesses that cause major nuisances in living environments, especially in cases where mitigation is insufficient.
7 Develop an accessibility and traffic plan in order to better connect various parts of the area and, in particular, to favour north-south pedestrian travel.
8 Redesign public facilities (streets, sidewalks, lighting) in order to adequately meet the needs of the various proposed uses.
9 Reinforce the use of the railway corridor as a bicycle travel route, notably by completing the Route verte bikeway.
10 Favour, with the use of appropriate regulatory tools, the intensification and diversification of activities in the surroundings of the following metro stations: Outremont, L’Acadie, Rosemont, Parc and De Castelnau.
11 Study the possibility of relocating the bus terminal from the centre of Mont-Royal Borough to the vicinity of the L’Acadie metro station.
12 Plan redevelopment of the Parc corridor while considering the construction of a light rail transit system.
