Outlook for the future: Ville de Saint-Lazare unveils two special urban plans to its residents.
Ville de Saint-Lazare's Service de l'urbanisme, in collaboration with the consulting firm L'Arpent, enthusiastically welcomed residents and members of the business community to City Hall on February 6 for an evening of public presentation of the results of the various stages of consultation on the future of the village core and the Cité-des-Jeunes sector.
Both sectors are undergoing change and need modernization. To achieve a collective vision, Ville de Saint-Lazare has embarked on a participatory process involving the population, entrepreneurs, major property owners, experts, elected officials and municipal civil servants. This process began in October 2022 and concluded last night with the presentation of the results of the two Plans particuliers d'urbanisme (PPU). The overall objective of the process was to ask the various stakeholders to describe their dream vision of these two sectors in a 5 to 10-year timeframe, which would take us to 2035.
Those in attendance, both in person and online, were able to see several ambiance renderings of the heart of the village and the Cité-des-Jeunes, illustrating what these areas could look like in a few years' time when the PPUs are implemented.
For both the village core and the Cité-des-Jeunes sector, we note a vision of enhancing community life, culture and heritage, economic revitalization and a renewed ecological and sustainable commitment for Ville de Saint-Lazare.
The PPUs' presentations were each followed by a question and comment period during which participants in the room were able to express their views.
The room was packed and several dozen people attended the presentation, which was simultaneously broadcast online, demonstrating that enthusiasm for the two projects has not waned in 17 months. The City extends its warmest thanks to all participants.
If you wish to share with us your comments on the presentation and its results, please write to us at ppu@ville.saint-lazare.qc.ca before February 23, 2024.
