Development between Rue Saint-Marc and Avenue Atwater

The city is reflecting on the redevelopment of the last stretch of the Rue Sainte-Catherine Ouest project, between Rue Saint-Marc and Avenue Atwater. In order for this development to be harmonious with the previous portions of the project and to respond to the special features and needs of the area, the city launched a consultation process in the fall of 2022.

    The municipal administration wishes to inform residents that the Rue Peel and Rue Sainte-Catherine Ouest work sites will be combined in 2022 to ensure greater coordination between work operations and effectively manage impacts and mobility downtown.

    These work operations will consist of replacing outdated underground infrastructures. Subsequently, the roads and sidewalks will be redeveloped as part of the same work site.

    It’s important to reiterate that replacing the water and sewer mains is urgent and essential, as some of them date back to 1890.

    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.

  • Some 58 people take part in the consultation workshops

    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.
