At the beginning of April, the Town of Mount Royal, with the help of the professional firm BC2, undertook a planning exercise to define a vision and development orientations for the Beaumont sector through the elaboration of a Special Planning Program (PPU in French).
Within the context of the PPU, the municipal council wanted to encourage citizen participation in order to gather ideas and comments from all stakeholders to guide its future actions and orientations, taking into account the various challenges of this sector to make it a true living environment, in collaboration with all the players involved.
Following the various consultative processes and actions, a working meeting was held between elected officials, the consultant BC2 and Town staff, at which the results of the consultation and public participation activities were presented and discussed.
On April 3, as part of the process of drawing up the special urban plan (PPU) for the Beaumont sector, the Town conducted interviews with the business community and property owners in the area covered by the PPU, with a goal of ascertaining their views on the future and issues facing the sector.
On May 7, 2024, a participatory citizen workshop reserved only for Town of Mount Royal residents was held, giving residents the opportunity to exchange ideas with professionals on the five main themes that will shape the redevelopment vision of the Beaumont sector. These five main themes include Mobility, Environment, Mixed use and activities and Built environment.
Also in May 2024, a questionnaire was set up to gather ideas, comments and suggestions on the future development of the Beaumont sector from residents who did not have the chance to attend the workshop. The results will guide the Town as it develops the Beaumont PPU.
Based on the results of the various public consultation processes and the ensuing analyses, the Town is continuing its work to develop the Beaumont PPU. In the fall of 2024, the public will be invited to attend a public consultation session provided for in the Act respecting land use planning and development, to comment on the draft regulations for the Beaumont PPU.
