The City of Montreal has begun the latest chapter in plans for the abandoned Blue Bonnets/Hippodrome racetrack. On Monday, the province and municipality announced a working group to begin creating what it envisions as the city s next great district of the future.
There are reportedly hundreds of vacant buildings in Montreal, many of which are heritage sites. A proposed by-law from the city aims to turn up the heat on the owners of those buildings to make sure they re being taken care of.
Montreal is no longer moving forward on a controversial plan to extend downtown parking meter payment times, following a chorus of criticism over the proposed policy.
