Phyllis Lambert lance un appel au maire pour demander un nouveau processus de consultation pour Griffintown: Manchettes

23 / 03 / 2008 by csreditor

Dans un lettre ouverte publiée dans Le Devoir, Phyllis Lambert, des architectes et urbanistes rénommés, ainsi que l’Ordre des urbanistes du Québec, demandent que le Projet Griffintown soit soumis à l’OCPM pour un vrai processus de consultation ouvert et transparent.

Phyllis Lambert, several prominent architects and urbanists, and the Order of Urbanists of Québec are calling for a new, open consultation process on Projet Griffintown using the OCPM, in an open letter published in Le Devoir.

Montreal Mirror, March 20, 2008

CSRG on the cover of the Montreal Mirror. CSRG sur la page 1 du hébdomadaire Mirror.

Un autre lettre ouverte donnant l’appui pour un processus démocratique, signé par Le Centre d’écologie urbaine de Montréal, le Conseil régional de l’environnement de Montréal, D’abord Solidaires, le Groupe de travail sur la démocratie municipale et la citoyenneté, la Réseau national sur la démocratie municipale (RNDM) et la Table régionale des organismes volontaire d’éducation populaire (TROVEP) de Montréal.

Deux articles dans La Presse sur la controversie de la salle des spéctacles proposée pour Projet Griffintown.

Gazette editorial: Tremblay administration is doing an end-run on Griffintown: Instead of in-depth hearings, the city is letting the borough conduct them.

The local Nuns’ Island magazine covers the way the project will likely have a big impact on Verdun, but since Verdun isn’t technically part of the Sud-Ouest borough, they have no voice in the current process.

A Léger Marketing poll indicates 47% of Montrealers are “for” Projet Griffintown, 17% are against it, and 36% are either undecided or don’t know about the project. Devimco is spinning this as a “win,” but this reading of the numbers obliterates the nuances of people who are for redevelopment, but not in the monopolistic fashion, nor in the scale or form which Devimco and the current PPU are proposing. It also showcases the fact that something with a city-wide impact is slipping by citizens unnoticed.

A resident of the Lowney Lofts has created a panoramic photo-cartography of Griffintown to show people the current state and scale of the neighborhood.
