Until the end of summer, Le Sud-Ouest will be completing the final redevelopment of Rue De Biencourt under the Programme d’implantation de rues piétonnes et partagées (PIRPP) (in French). The street is scheduled to reopen in the fall of 2021.

Description

Located between Boulevard Monk and Rue Briand, this social space is a natural extension of the parvis in front of the former Notre-Dame-du-Perpétuel-Secours church, which now houses the Théâtre Paradoxe. The small square commands an impressive view of this building, which holds heritage interest. This is the perfect place to take in a piano recital by an amateur or a professional, or pick vegetables from the urban agriculture planters. The redevelopment of this section has brought increased activity to Boulevard Monk and made the commercial street more attractive, in step with its revitalization. This people-friendly and intergenerational gathering place is bursting with commercial vitality.

Objective

  • Give the community a gathering place for relaxation and sharing amid a green setting.

Installations

  • Public piano
  • Porch swing
  • Urban agriculture planters
