What ideas could be proposed?

Submitted ideas had to relate to at least 1 of the following themes:

• Youth: Meet the needs of citizens who are aged 30 or younger, as well as those of future generations
• Equity: Ensure that Montrealers from all walks of life have equitable access to municipal infrastructures across city territory
• Safety: Offer safe living environments by improving:
  • safe mobility (on foot, by bike, by skateboard, by car, by scooter, etc.)
  • violence prevention and a sense of safety in the city (streets, sidewalks, parks, municipal facilities, etc.)
  • protection against severe inclement weather (climate events such as abundant rain, heat waves, freshet, rising temperatures, drought, destructive storms)

And meet the following criteria:

• Meet a collective need (serve a collective interest rather than a private one)
• Be feasible for the city (Located on public property or on city-owned land)
• Represent an investment expenditure, which means that the budget must be spent on developments or equipment that will last and be sustainable in the long run
• Present the potential for a major project (project value between $500,000 and $5 M)

Examples of ideas

You could, for instance, propose development projects or equipment that contribute to:

• the practice of a sport (for example, outdoor rock climbing wall on a city building)
• socialization and meetings (for example, recreational sitting areas with wifi)
• universal accessibility (for example, inclusive playgrounds)
• improving mobility (for example, bike parking shelters near high-traffic areas)
• improving safety at intersections (for example, protected pedestrian infrastructure)
• improving safety in public areas (for example, safe and artistic public lighting)
• managing abundant rainfall (for example, public “water square”)
