To conclude the first phase of the consultative process for the future Urban Planning Programme, the City of Dollard-des-Ormeaux (DDO) held a final workshop on the development of its major boulevards last Wednesday evening at the Civic Centre.
More than 80 residents participated at the meeting where they had the opportunity to work in teams around discussion tables and exchange their ideas to imagine and propose developments for Boulevards Saint-Jean, des Sources, de Salaberry, Brunswick, Spring Garden and Sunnybrooke.
“We are very pleased with the significant public response. We want to hear from our residents what they would like to see on our major boulevards,” DDO Urban planning Director Sylvain Boulianne told The Suburban.
“This is a valuable exercise to shape a city that takes into consideration the innovative ideas of residents that are based on their daily experiences.”
“I would like to congratulate our residents for their active involvement and remarkable participation in the revision of the Urban Planning Program. Their invaluable input will contribute to the development of tomorrow’s city in a collaborative and visionary manner that benefits the community as a whole,” DDO Mayor Alex Bottausci told The Suburban.
With the input received via the various consultative and interactive activities carried out since August 30, 2023, the city intends, in 2024, to adopt a new Urban Planning Program adapted to the specific social, economic and environmental realities of its territory.
