Its an area that desperately needs some cohesive planning, but it&#8217;s sure to be touchy as residents of Mile End and Little Italy tend to get emotional about this place. From the much-hated pedestrian under-pass at St-Laurent, to the adored green corridor along the train tracks, and the love-it or hate-it Van-Horne Viaduct.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, the borough put out an open call for multi-disciplinary teams to propose plans for the site, which is 20% owned by the city, 40% privately owned, and 40% owned by the STM.<\/p>\n<p>The borough&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/ville.montreal.qc.ca\/pls\/portal\/docs\/PAGE\/ARR_ROS_FR\/MEDIA\/DOCUMENTS\/BELLECHASSE4P.PDF\">planning orientations<\/a> (pdf) envisages a mixed-use, transit-oriented development, in which architecturally interesting buildings are recycled, and new, sustainable 8-10 story buildings include housing for families, low-income people, and universal accessibility. One thing that I was happy to see in the planning document was a network of &#8220;free spaces&#8221; (<em>r\u00e9seau d\u2019espaces libres<\/em>) that aims to break down barriers between Petite-Patrie and the Plateau by linking greenspaces and creating cycling and pedestrian links across the tracks.

According to Louis Tremblay, a borough communications officer, the public&#8217;s comments will be handed over to the 4 planning teams selected by the borough to further develop PPUs.<\/p>\n<p>The public is also invited to comment on the 4 selected plans during a presentation on November 26th (Spacing Montreal will follow the story as it unfolds).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rosemont-Petite-Patrie is creating a Plan Particulier d&#8217;Urbanisme (PPU) for the Bellechasse sector, bordered by St-Laurent, St-Denis, Bellechasse and the train tracks to the south.
