Greening of place de l'Acadie
The Borough of Ahuntsic-Cartierville is holding a landscape architecture competition as part of the design plan for the neighbourhood park included in the Place de l'Acadie residential redevelopment initiative.
The project calls for the greening of the Place de l'Acadie site. Landscaping of this new park will help combat the urban heat island effect, through such methods as the creation of areas to refresh the surrounding air as well as shaded zones, and increasing the density of vegetation.
The forecast budget for the overall project is $1 million, and the total surface area to be redeveloped is 3152 square metres.
Ahuntsic-Cartierville Borough Mayor Pierre Gagnier said: "This competition presents an opportunity for the province's landscape architects to put their talents to work developing a green space that will result in enhanced quality of life for both current and future residents of Place de l'Acadie."
Mr. Gagnier added: "This public space will be at the heart of the project to redevelop Place de l'Acadie and Place Henri-Bourassa, a major initiative that includes the demolition of 550 substandard dwellings and reconstruction of 1,293 new units, including 468 condominium units, 602 privately leased units for seniors, as well as 223 social and community housing units."
