Three LaSalle deadlines this week

There are three deadlines this week, February 16, for citizens interested in LaSalle development.

Wednesday, February 18 at 7 p.m., a consultation will take place at 55 avenue Dupras, LaSalle about a renewal of the site located at 8591-8597, rue Centrale where Monsieur Depanneur is located. Plans include expanding the existing building, demolishing the section in the rear and building three townhouses on the site. Eleven parking spots will be built underground. The plans break several sections of the borough zoning law, so citizens will have the right to ask for a referendum about the project. For more information, refer to the public notice.

Citizens who want to request referendums about two other projects now proposed must do so by this Friday, February 20 at noon.

The borough plans to approve several six- and eight-storey buildings on Allard and a new street between Newman and Irwin in a zone at the border of the Southwest Borough. Citizens who live east of Angrignon or north of de Trinitaires can consult the plans at LaSalle borough and ask for a referendum if they so choose. There’s a public notice for that project too.

LaSalle also plans to approve a project in the old Caisse populaire building at 99 Lafleur that includes only eight parking spots instead of the 17 spots required by local bylaws. Anyone living nearby on Stinson, Hayward, Central, Brosseau, Monette, Tresor Cache or Orchard can request a referendum. There are two zones in the area. To ask for a referendum, 12 people living in one* of the two zones must sign an application form. The public notice appears online.

*Due to some playing around with words, the story originally incorrectly said two. Twelve people from a single zone can trigger the referendum process. Thanks to a reader for pointing out this error.
