City wants old Royal Vic lands for park
The city has its eye on some of the space behind the old Royal Vic to add to Mount Royal park while McGill wants to turn the original grand old baronial building into a research centre. That leaves several buildings as yet unclaimed. The Société québécoise des infrastructures says it wants the whole complex to be used for the public good, and we already know that the winter shelter is coming back this season although it’s probably not clear yet whether this will be a permanent facility.

The city should focus more on the cutting down of Ash trees that are within the park and look into the possibility of creating green space in the spaces vacated by dead trees if it makes sense.

The city can do both, Spi. Anyway, “green space” is not just lawn, it’s trees too.
The old Vic is eventually going to be parted out, and it would be good if the city had its claim in on the disused parking lots. There’s a swimming pool up there too.
