Nature parks extra popular this summer
The city’s nature parks are estimated to have had 150% of the visits of previous summers.
The mayor wants us to speak up about the future of the Grand parc de l’ouest and what we’d like it to be. I’d like it to be closer to downtown, please.

Having just filled out the survey on the Grand parc, I’m pretty convinced they’re going to follow their usual practice of just building stuff all over green spaces. For cultural and educational purposes, you know. Sigh.
Also the survey did not have any questions about public transit access, hopefully it will be well-integrated into the REM with frequent weekend service.

Tim S., I see what you mean. They seem so keen to make the park useful, entertaining and educational. It’s not a goddamn campus, it’s one of the island’s last bits of more or less unspoiled nature. They should shove in a couple of maps and bathrooms, but leave it largely as it is.

If the park is not accessible did it actually happen? (Tree falling, deer jumping, and a tortoise rolling upside down.)

If it has a multi-million dollar website and logo, then yes 🙂
