Future of Falaise nature park unclear
I missed this one a few days ago: the future of the Falaise nature park in NDG is uncertain, with the budgeted money falling, while the city claims it still needs land from Quebec.

I walk the falaise regularly and I’d just as soon the city doesn’t get involved, it’s fine the way it is. Also, it’s pretty rich that McQueen is “very disappointed” since this has been talked about for a long time and his party was in power for 8 years without accomplishing anything. Over 15 years with him as our city councillor and nothing seems to get done although he is very good at showing up at public events and pressing the flesh.

Don’t know why they say that people don’t have access to the park. There are two very nice accesses at either end. The middle one leaves a lot to be desired. The city did recently demolish the building at 6344 St-Jacques to eventually build a proper middle entrance.
The only issue outstanding is the “dalle parc” issue to cross the railway tracks and the highway. Everything else can go ahead.

It’s a bit misleading to only talk about the falaise area. The biggest part of the project they announced was the land between the highway and Notre-Dame. I assume that’s the issue with the province, most of it is still asphalt from where highway 20 used to be. If they complete the new overpass/dalle parc, it would be a huge green space all the way from St-Jacques to the Lachine Canal
