The Office de Consultation Publique de Montr\u00e9al<\/em> (OPCM) is holding sessions starting on January 28th for a residential development in Ahuntsic-Cartierville, which would replace some of the city’s worst slums with 7 affoardable apartment and condo blocks, and a neighourhood park<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The proposed development is a LeCorbusier-inspired towers-in-the-park ideal, a model which has been criticized for creating impersonal housing blocks, isolated within an unpopulated or even dangerous greenspace, which ultimately fail to integrate into the wider neighbourhood. However, in this case the site is already isolated by a highway, two major traffic trough-fares and a parkinglot, so perhaps creating a dynamic internal space is the best case scenario.<\/p>\n

And, for the tenants of Place l’Acadie and Place Henri-Bourassa, anything will be a better<\/a> than the decrepit, unsanitary buildings currently located on the site. <\/p>\n

The Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 d’habitation et de d\u00e9veloppement de Montr\u00e9al <\/em>(SHDM) and Groupe Tyrone, a private residential developer, bought the properties<\/a> from the the Sagman family last April. The Sagmans were reputed to be some of the most neglectful slum-lords in the city: at the time of the purchase city inspectors identified 7000 infractions of basic sanitation regulations in 21 apartment buildings, including persistent leaks, mold, fungus and a diversity of vermin.<\/p>\n

At this time, a third of the apartments have already been demolished, and the developer has plans “quasi-totally” take down the remaining buildings. The SHDM has put $600,000 towards helping families temporarily re-locate and the displaced tenants will be given priority access to the newly-constructed social and affordable housing units, which should be available in 2010.<\/p>\n

The developer is applying for zoning changes to allow building heights between 7 and 16 stories. The planned development is to include 1300 housing units, of which 216 are to be social sousing, 480 affordable condominiums (under $200,000), and 600 rental units geared to elderly people.<\/p>\n

Some of the buildings are to have large, family-friendly apartments with private entrances and 3-5 bedrooms on the bottom 3 floors.\u00a0The buildings at the corner of Boulevard Acadie and Henri-Bourassa have some commercial space on the ground floor, and the complex is to include a daycare. The developer also plans to construct a sound barrier along Highway 15.<\/p>\n

A first information session will be held January 28th<\/strong>, 7:00 pm at the Premi\u00e8re \u00e9glise \u00e9vang\u00e9lique arm\u00e9nienne sise<\/em> au 11455 rue Drouart. Individuals and organizations will be able to comment on the project at a second session on February 18th, 7:00 pm, in the same location. Lots of relevant documentation can be found on the OCPM website<\/a>.<\/p>\n
