In brief: On September 14, municipal council approved the PIIA for a major integrated project (eight housing units and four single-family homes) on lot 3 278 147 (Rue Beattie), without an independent hydrological study.
The fact: Yet, the Ville already had in hand an official technical opinion from the firm Terraformex (March 2026). Commissioned to protect Route 327 and the bridge area, this report explicitly includes lot 3 278 147 in its study zone and documents advancing bank erosion there.
Documented risks: The report confirms that the soil is sandy and vulnerable to flooding, requiring major stabilization work (a slope requiring a 3.5 to 5-meter setback/encroachment zone at the top of the embankment) that freezes a portion of the usable land.
A glaring double standard: Why order scientific studies to protect public Ville infrastructure while greenlighting a private real estate project on the exact same high-risk shoreline?
Our position: The Ville must suspend authorizations for lot 3 278 147 until a comprehensive, independent hydrological study has been completed.
