Turcot Interchange: Read the brief submitted by Westmount at the BAPE Hearings
BRIEF
presented by Mayor Karin Marks
BAPE Hearings on June 16th
Turcot Interchange Reconstruction Project
On behalf of the citizens of Westmount, I would like to thank the Bureau d’audiences publiques sur l’environnement for providing us with this opportunity to comment on the proposed reconstruction of the Turcot Interchange.
This project, being of major significance to the Montreal region, deserves that the necessary time be taken to study it in depth. This brief will address the several aspects upon which the City of Westmount wishes to be heard, namely:
-
Westmount’s interest in this project;
-
Westmount’s vision regarding sustainable development;
-
Westmount’s position on the project, in particular on the issues it raises and its impact on our residents during the work;
-
The measures we propose in order to mitigate the impact.
Why is the City of Westmount interested in the project? Because in Westmount, we fear the impact the construction process will have on our quality of life. We also want to ensure that this project will be carried out from a sustainable development perspective. Because in Westmount, we are committed to the idea that our city must meet the needs of the current generation without compromising those of our children. Mayor Karin Marks
