  • 1 Executive Summary the Namur–De La Savane (NDLS)
    Namur-Hippodrome Public Consultation Submission Oroboro Executive Summary The Namur–De la Savane (NDLS) sector is entering a period of substantial transformation, moving from a predominantly low-density commercial and industrial sector to a higher-density residential and mixed-use community. The planned and ongoing redevelopment and zoning changes within the sector could result in approximately 45,000 new residents and more than 400,000 m2 of commercial and retail space over the next 15 years. In its current state, the sector is ill-prepared to accommodate this projected growth. Existing transport networks and land use patterns have created a fragmented area that prioritizes private automobile use, fosters unpleasant conditions for residents and visitors alike and will provide inadequate social amenities, such as schools and parks, for tens of thousands of new residents. The sector’s physical fragmentation is a concrete manifestation of historical planning and political decisions and divisions that render a new, coordinated planning approach crucial to ensure that the scale and pace of new developments meet the current and future needs, visions and aspirations of diverse communities. We prepared a Coordinated Concept Plan (CCP), with a unified vision and guiding principles which can serve as a tool to encourage future dialogue and collaboration between the sector’s multiple stakeholders. The CCP includes strategies to address the challenges posed by both transportation and land use issues, with detailed interventions, informed by real-world case studies, presented as examples showcasing the impact of these strategies. The city of Montreal’s objective for prioritizing active transportation and creating a mixed-use complete neighbourhood with a significant social and affordable housing component at the Namur-Hippodrome site are commendable.
