SPP for boulevard Saint-Charles in Pierrefonds-Roxboro
The boulevard Saint-Charles sector in Pierrefonds-Roxboro has been identified in the City of Montreal’s Urban Plan as a sector to be transformed or expanded. This Special urban planning program (SPP) offers a vision for the redevelopment of the area.
This SPP is in line with the objectives of ecological transition, the fight against climate change and the creation of quality living environments. It is a roadmap to be followed for the next 20 years to ensure that rehabilitation and redevelopment work is carried out in a coherent manner.
The target area covers approximately 28 hectares on either side of Saint-Charles Boulevard, stretching from the north of the borough to the Kirkland city limits.
A number of areas for improvement have been identified in this project, including:
- Integrating a range of housing types to meet the needs of a varied and changing clientele.
- Tailoring the commercial and service offer to better meet local needs
- Beautifying and greening the urban infrastructure to create high-quality landscapes with a distinctive identity.
- Diversifying the offer of alternative means of transport so as to connect more effectively to the metropolitan public transport network.
- Developing an architectural and landscape vision for the artery.
Learn about the public consultation process
Why hold public meetings?
In an effort to involve citizens in the process from the outset, the Borough took the initiative in 2022 of organising meetings before embarking on the production of the boulevard Saint-Charles planning program, which aims to transpose as accurately as possible the issues experiences by the population. It is therefore with great enthusiasm and a genuine interest in the enhancement of the quality of its living environment that we invite you, residents, business people and organisations to learn more about the preliminary version of the Special Planning Program (SPP) and the stages of the SPP process.
