Launch of the PPU Process for the Beaumont Sector - First Citizen Event on May 7, 2024
SPECIAL PLANNING PROGRAM (PPU) FOR THE BEAUMONT SECTOR
The Town of Mount Royal has begun preparing a special planning program (PPU in French) for the Beaumont sector. Council is seeking ideas and comments from all stakeholders to guide its future actions and orientations.
WHAT IS A PPU?
A detailed, long-term planning document for a part of the Town for which significant changes are slated. The PPU sets out a vision and development orientations based on major issues in the area and on resident’s concerns, needs and expectations.
SUMMARY AND SECTOR DELINEATION
Located in the southeast part of the Town, it shares municipal borders with the Outremont and Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension boroughs.
Adopted in 2017, the Town of Mount Royal’s Urban Plan (UP) is the planning document that guides the development of the Town’s territory. It classifies the Beaumont sector as "a sector to be transformed", with plans to diversify its activities in the medium and long term. The Beaumont sector is of particular strategic importance due to the proximity of the Acadie metro station and the sector’s location at the entrance to the Town. Numerous nearby projects are driving the sector’s revitalization, including Université de Montréal’s MIL Campus and the repair work on the Rockland overpass by the Urban Agglomeration of Montreal. The Town of Mount Royal believes this is an opportune time to consolidate the sector’s development projects with a view to enhancing the economic vitality and quality of life of its residents.
The Town is therefore beginning planning work to define a vision and development guidelines for the Beaumont sector by developing a Special Planning Program (PPU). The Town wishes to work with all stakeholders involved to take into account the sector’s many challenges and make it a vibrant living environment.
As part of the consultation process, Townies are invited to attend an evening workshop on May 7, during which residents will have the opportunity to discuss with professionals the five major themes that will shape the redevelopment vision for the area. The evening will take place at the Town Hall of Mount Royal, from 19:00 to 21:00. Residents wishing to take part in the workshop need only complete a registration form, which will be available online.
- The five main themes to be discussed will be Mobility, Environment, Mixed use and activities and Built environment.
