The Hochelaga-Maisonneuve neighborhood is undergoing a major social and urban transformation. Its rich industrial heritage, its vitality and its proximity to downtown are attracting new residents and merchants who are contributing to the social mix and to an increasingly prosperous local economy.
As a continuation of its efforts to enhance the area, the borough is launching a call for creative ideas on a Canadian scale to transform the area around Place Simon-Valois into a meeting zone by developing two sections of shared streets, namely Ontario Street and Valois Avenue.
The primary objective of this competition is to respond to the vision statement by putting forward the principles of the shared street (in 2.1) for the entire targeted intervention perimeter (in 1.2). The borough wishes to achieve high standards in terms of the quality of its developments, from an aesthetic, spatial, functional and social perspective. The following objectives should act as guidelines for the development of the project in order to create a safe, user-friendly and versatile Meeting Place.
