Lachine: People would swim in the river
A survey found that three quarters of the folks in Lachine would swim in the river off the beach park that’s meant to replace the contentious marina in that area.

The potential footbridge between René-Levesque Park and the Marina mentioned in the article would be amazing, right now it’s a pain to go between the two sites. It would tie the whole thing together into one big waterfront park, one of the nicest in the city imo, making it the crown jewel of the Lachine Canal bike path.
And yes, Montreal needs more places where you can go swim in the river, it is an island after all. And a tropical one at that for much of the summer.

The irony here is that René-Levesque Park isnt much used by Lachine people. It’s too far, you only enter by 1 place and it’s too far away from the bourough. It’s almost all Lasalle residents that go there, or bike people at the end of their Canal Lachine trip.
The best thing would be a bridge from the promenade Pere-Marquette, but logistically it would be impossible, (it would need to be high so that boats can go under).
