Avec la cour Turcot et l\u2019ancienne gare de triage Outremont, le site de l\u2019hippodrome de Montr\u00e9al est l\u2019un des derniers grands terrains vacants de la m\u00e9tropole. \u00a0Le vaste espace de 43.5 hectares accueillera un nouveau quartier d\u2019ici 2017.<\/p>\n

Il s\u2019agit du dernier grand projet de d\u00e9veloppement et de construction dont l\u2019ex-maire de la m\u00e9tropole Gerald Tremblay a fait l\u2019annonce officielle. C\u2019est (ironiquement) aux c\u00f4t\u00e9s de Michael Applebaum, alors simple maire de C\u00f4te-des-Neiges-Notre-Dame-de-Gr\u00e2ce, que Gerald Tremblay a annonc\u00e9 un projet ambitieux et concert\u00e9: un \u00e9toff\u00e9 comit\u00e9 d\u2019experts aliment\u00e9 de visions citoyennes, une vaste consultation d\u2019avant-projet et un concours international afin d\u2019en faire un \u00a0quartier urbain exemplaire<\/a>. D\u00e9j\u00e0, le comit\u00e9 – conseil souhaite mettre de l\u2019avant la\u00a0sant\u00e9 des r\u00e9sidants<\/a>, en priorisant le commerce de proximit\u00e9, une grande part de logement social et la pi\u00e9tonisation de certains secteurs. La nature aura sa place au\u00a0c\u0153ur du projet<\/a>, sous forme de toits vers, jardins communautaires et de nombreux parcs, notamment.<\/p>\n

L\u2019hippodrome de Montr\u00e9al<\/b><\/p>\n

En 1907, les courses de chevaux\u00a0Blue Bonnets<\/i>\u00a0d\u00e9m\u00e9nagent de Ville Saint-Pierre pour s\u2019installer sur le site actuel, alors occup\u00e9 par des champs. Certaines courses atteignent plusieurs dizaines de milliers de spectateurs, mais depuis les ann\u00e9es 1970 les activit\u00e9s hippiques sont en d\u00e9clin. Apr\u00e8s quelques efforts infructueux de relance par les salons de vid\u00e9o poker, l\u2019hippodrome cesse d\u00e9finitivement ses activit\u00e9s en 2009. C\u2019est en mars dernier que la Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 nationale du cheval de course a sign\u00e9 une entente avec la Ville de Montr\u00e9al afin que cette derni\u00e8re devienne propri\u00e9taire du terrain, moyennant des compensations financi\u00e8res sur les futurs revenus tir\u00e9s de l\u2019exploitation du site.<\/p>\n

Blue bonnets<\/i>\u00a0s\u2019inscrit dans les grands h\u00e9ritages de l\u2019histoire sportive, touristique et \u00e9conomique de la ville, au m\u00eame titre que le stade olympique et le Casino de Montr\u00e9al \u2014trois structures dont les locataires ont r\u00eav\u00e9 en vain d\u2019un d\u00e9m\u00e9nagement au Centre-Ville.\u00a0Ce lieu s\u2019inscrit aussi dans l\u2019histoire des espaces vacants du centre de l\u2019ile qui ont toujours entretenu un lien particulier avec la nature en ville.<\/p>\n

Des chevaux en ville<\/b><\/p>\n

Vers 1830, C\u00f4te-des-Neiges est une destination de vill\u00e9giature et l\u2019\u00e9quitation y est populaire. Soixante ans plus tard le\u00a0Montreal Hunt Club<\/a><\/i>\u00a0construit un pavillon \u00e0 quelques kilom\u00e8tres du futur hippodrome pour y pratiquer la chasse \u00e0 courre jusqu\u2019\u00e0 sa relocalisation r\u00e9gionale, quatre d\u00e9cennies plus tard.<\/p>\n

Avant sa fermeture, l\u2019hippodrome \u00e9tait le plus vaste espace destin\u00e9 sp\u00e9cifiquement aux chevaux \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al. Ce sont d\u00e9sormais les \u00e9curies du Sud-Ouest , la cavalerie du Mont-Royal (SPVM) et plus loin la ferme du Cap-Saint-Jacques qui sont gardiennes de l\u2019h\u00e9ritage chevalin montr\u00e9alais. Alors que des\u00a0efforts fructueux<\/a>\u00a0de mobilisation sont r\u00e9alis\u00e9s pour sauver le\u00a0Horse Palace<\/i>\u00a0dans Griffintown, justement au nom de cet h\u00e9ritage centenaire, le d\u00e9bat est d\u00e9sormais ailleurs pour l\u2019hippodrome.<\/p>\n

Certes, l\u2019histoire hippique est mentionn\u00e9e comme \u00e9tant un atout du site sur la\u00a0page Internet<\/a>\u00a0du projet. Mais comment honorer cette histoire ? Au del\u00e0 de la \u00a0perte du touchant anachronisme que repr\u00e9sente la pr\u00e9sence \u00e9quine en ville, ce lieu \u00e9tait unique, ne serait-ce que par l\u2019espace d\u00e9mesur\u00e9 qu\u2019il occupait au c\u0153ur de la m\u00e9tropole. \u00a0Si Montr\u00e9al se dote des moyens de cr\u00e9er un quartier mod\u00e8le, elle doit aussi s\u2019assurer que l\u2019esprit du lieu soit au c\u0153ur du concept d\u2019am\u00e9nagement afin que le\u00a0Genius loci<\/i>\u00a0ne se r\u00e9sume pas qu\u2019\u00e0 la rue des Jockeys.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
