It’s a tough area. It would be nice to see more 3 and 4 bedroom apartments in the area specifically because you have students, who will want to share to make it more affordable. Building some modular buildings, so it’s more affordable. Could they build some intentionally designed rooming houses on St-Hubert for social housing? It’s connected to the metro, so desirable that way. But the panhandling and drugs from the park are problematic. Also the area has a number of hotels… could the city authorize a large hotel on part of this land, which is connected to the bus station and trade it for a hotel’s land and building that is elsewhere? There are 2 or 3 hotels on St-Hubert… if they built a brand new hotel, metro connected on Berri, the city could get hotel/land on St-Hubert and convert the hotel to a rooming house.
