Citizens brought winter to LaSalle\u2019s February borough meeting, while most of the motions passed focussed on summer projects and communication.<\/p>\n

Francisco Moreno asked again why it\u2019s taken so long to clean-up the ice remaining from snow that fell on January 3 and 4. Giant hills have since frozen in place in front of residents\u2019 homes blocking multiple parking spaces. Layers of ice also remain on the sidewalks.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are now in the third snow-clearing operation since the 3rd<\/sup> and 4th<\/sup> of January,\u201d said Richard Deschamps, whose currently serving as mayor of the borough while Manon Barbe is out of the country. \u201cDe-icing the sidewalks and roads will be done by Wednesday. In future, we\u2019re planning on cleaning the snow faster.\u201d<\/p>\n

To help with that, councillors passed a motion authorizing more than $150,000 to Remorquage mobile and Gestion Normar Inc. for the rental of more snow-clearing equipment this season.<\/p>\n

Other motions dealt with summer projects.<\/p>\n

Heritage Laurentien got more than $200,000 to take care of the parc des Rapides.<\/p>\n

Two contracts were given out to companies working on the Aquadome renovation, including almost $99,000 for drains.<\/p>\n

The borough also confirmed that it will spend almost $100,000 on a 7.9 kilometre bike path along LaSalle Boulevard.<\/p>\n

Communications for the 2015 year also got attention. A contract was given to Transcontinental Media for borough publications, although the amount of the contract was unspecified. Canada Posts got $38,000 to deliver 6 issues of Accent and a list of sports and culture activities.<\/p>\n

A project to change the zoning for buildings on lot 4 760 623 north of Allard near Irwin received a second reading.<\/p>\n

Councillors also approved the minutes for the meeting held on January 12. Those minutes included a $67,000 contract to Payette and Simms for the six Accent newsletters and $53,808.30 to Corriveau Girard Architectes (CGA) to transform LaSalles former city hall at 13, Strathyre Avenue into a cultural institution.<\/p>\n

A meeting about that project took place at City Hall just prior to Council.<\/p>\n
