Grade school planned for UdeM campus
A new grade school is being planned for the Outremont campus of the Université de Montréal. The city is taking the view that, since there will be housing, there will be kids, and they need a school. Mayor Plante is also underlining the errors made in the redevelopment of Griffintown, when nothing like that was included in the plans.

And yet, instead of commending Plante for some actual foresight, people will probably look for ways to still dump on her about Griffintown, even though the utter lack of planning had to do with the Gérald Tremblay admin.

I just saw a complaint on a Facebook group blaming Plante for the disappearance of neon signs on Ste-Catherine Street – something that started happening decades ago.

As far as I know the current administration has been involved in protecting iconic heritage signage.

It seems only logical that as a city’s population expands exponentially in order to pump up GDP growth, we will need more schools and parks, so good on the mayor for recognizing this fact .
