La Sainte-Catherine : A street that has been revitalized

Rue Sainte-Catherine Ouest between Rue De Bleury and Rue Mansfield (Phase 1 of the Sainte-Catherine Ouest redevelopment project) is currently undergoing a transformation aimed at offering Montrealers and visitors alike a welcoming public space sure to give rise to a new way of experiencing downtown Montréal!

Development of Phase 2 - Rue Sainte-Catherine Ouest, from Rue Mansfield to Avenue Atwater

  • Lot 1 : Rue Sainte-Catherine Ouest, de les rues Mansfield à Bishop
  • Lot 2 : Rue Sainte-Catherine Ouest, de les rues Bishop à Saint-Marc
  • Lot 3 : Rue Sainte-Catherine Ouest, de la rue Saint-Marc à l'avenue Atwater

To design a development that ultimately harmonizes with Phase 1, yet takes into account the particularities and needs specific to Phase 2, the municipal administration hold a first public participation initiative in 2019.

The first public participation activities made it possible to consult residents concerning the development concept for Rue Sainte-Catherine Ouest, between Rue Mansfield and Rue Bishop (lot 1).

Two activities have been offered as part of this process:

  1. Online survey
  2. Participatory workshops (November 16 or 19, 2019)

Other participation activities will be launched in 2021 for Lot 2 and Lot 3 (between Rue Bishop and Avenue Atwater).

    The consultation report on Phase 2, lot 1 (section Mansfield-Bishop) of the Sainte-Catherine Ouest Redevelopment Project is now available. The results of the consultation – which included an online survey and two participative workshops last fall – point to a strong desire to improve the pedestrian experience and make it safer while strengthening the distinctive character of Montréal’s commercial thoroughfare. Similar participation initiatives will take place for the other lots in the project. For further details, please view the online report.

    A heartfelt word of thanks goes out to all the people who took the time to attend the public consultation workshops on the redevelopment of Rue Sainte-Catherine Ouest, between Rue Mansfield and Rue Bishop. The workshops were presented on Saturday, November 16 and Tuesday, November 19, 2019.

    These workshops were aimed at gathering ideas and comments from residents on how best to accommodate the street’s various users (pedestrians, workers, tourists, stores, etc.) while highlighting the distinctive character of this section of Montréal’s iconic commercial strip.

    The results of these sessions will be presented in a report drafted by the Institut du nouveau Monde. The report will be made public on this Web site in the winter of 2020. It will take into account the answers of the 474 respondents who completed the online survey conducted between October 28 and November 22, 2019.

    All this information will be taken into consideration by the city’s design team, so as to ensure that this section of Rue Sainte-Catherine, between Rue Mansfield and Rue Bishop, meets the needs of residents and lives up to their vision. The concept retained should be announced in the early autumn of 2020.
