Rosemont to experiment with joining up park halves
Rosemont’s Père-Marquette park is split into three pieces by Rosemont Boulevard and Bellechasse. The borough plans to experiment next spring with closing that section of Bellechasse and linking two pieces of the park, with a view to making this arrangement permanent.
How this pans out may depend on who gets elected or re‑elected in November.

Essentially the same thing that was done to Baldwin Park many years ago, and is currently being done to Duluth in Jeanne-Mance and Émile-Duployé in Lafontaine. It’s a great way to expand green space while also filtering and calming traffic.
The 24 Heures article seems like it’s going out of its way to find opposition to this.
