A new group of developers is advocating for the long-awaited extension of Cavendish Boulevard in Montreal. The group, called “Cavendish Extension Now,” is made up of local developers who believe that the extension is crucial for the city’s growth and development.
The proposed extension would connect Cavendish Boulevard from Côte-Saint-Luc to Saint-Laurent, providing a direct route for commuters and easing traffic congestion in the area. It has been a topic of discussion for over 50 years, but has yet to be realized.
According to the group, the extension would not only benefit commuters, but also local businesses and residents. It would provide easier access to the industrial and commercial areas in the west end of the city, as well as improve the quality of life for those living in the area.
The group has already gained support from several city councillors, including Lionel Perez, who believes that the extension is necessary for the city’s economic growth. He stated, “We need to have a better connection between the east and west of the city, and the Cavendish extension is a key part of that.”
However, not everyone is in favor of the project. Some residents in the affected areas have expressed concerns about potential noise and traffic disruptions. The group has addressed these concerns by proposing a sound barrier and implementing traffic calming measures.
The group is now calling on the city to prioritize the extension and include it in the upcoming budget. They argue that the project has been delayed for far too long and it is time for action to be taken.
In response, the city has stated that the extension is still being studied and that a decision will be made in the near future. However, the group is determined to continue their advocacy and push for the extension to be built.
As the debate continues, one thing is clear: the Cavendish extension is a highly anticipated project that has the potential to greatly benefit the city of Montreal. With the support of local developers and city councillors, it is now up to the city to make a decision and move forward with the project.
