City announces plans for Bridge-Bonaventure
The city announced its plans for what it calls Bridge-Bonaventure – the area including Habitat, Silo no 5, the Farine Five Roses sign and the Black Rock, often referred to as the Peel Basin. The city is demanding a REM station for the area. Devimco will be doing all the building of what’s expected to be as many as 7600 residential units.

For anyone interested in getting involved, the shit disturbers of PSC are holding public meetings on April 2nd and 4th.

So based on the artist’s sketch, they will keep the Costco but without a parking lot? Interesting experiment.

@MarcG – Thanks for the PSC meeting heads-up. I will be there and writing Mayor Plante as well at: mairesse@montreal.ca I can’t believe she would allow Divimco to do this again. PSC is a tight, fierce little community. It shouldn’t be mowed down to become another tech dormitory.

This development is for the industrial areas and vacant land right? How will existing residential communities in PSC be impacted?

@Faiz @JaneyB Yes, this is for vacant and industrial land. If you look at MarcG’s link, the PSC community group is proposing an alternative vision for the area, but nobody is suggesting that it shouldn’t be developed into housing.
@Tim I’ve heard Costco has plans to redevelop its own site by adding a parking garage and a second floor to the warehouse. Downtown Vancouver has a Costco with no surface parking, and so does Harlem in NYC. It’s rare but not unprecedented.
