WHEREAS, since 2005, the work to extend Cavendish Boulevard as an arterial road (Cavendish/Cavendish/Royalmount) has been the responsibility of Ville de Montréal and the agglomeration in accordance with section 118.85 of the Act respecting the exercise of certain municipal powers in certain agglomerations;

WHEREAS, in 2017, the Quebec government transferred the Hippodrome lands to Ville de Montréal for $1, in order to build housing on the following condition: Art. 5.2.3 The Cavendish-Cavendish link is a road that falls under its [Montréal’s] responsibility, and it undertakes to include it in the agglomeration's transportation plan and its three-year capital program;

WHEREAS, in 2022, Ville de Montréal submitted a project notice to the BAPE confirming the crucial role of the Cavendish project for the development of the Namur Hippodrome (QNH) district;

WHEREAS, in 2024, Ville de Montréal withdrew the Cavendish-Cavendish project from the agglomeration budget and its new QNH urban planning/mobility plan, in violation of the Hippodrome agreement;

WHEREAS, in order to achieve sustainable mobility, it is necessary to have a road on which all modes of transport can circulate;

We, the signatories, ask the Québec government to require, in accordance with the 2017 agreement, that Ville de Montréal comply with the Cavendish-Cavendish road project schedule submitted to the BAPE and put the project back in the ten-year capital budget of the agglomeration (PDI), in order to obtain government funding for housing and/or infrastructure for the QNH.
