On June 28, several public consultations conducted by the City of Laval ended - they were an opportunity for citizens to express themselves on different land use planning projects, including the Special planning programs (SPP) of the Sainte-Rose station and the new Town planning code. CRE de Laval submitted a brief titled Une ville bien construite, à la hauteur des écosystèmes qu’elle abrite, and many citizen groups also wrote their own.
In its brief (French-written), CRE de Laval offers recommendations regarding the Town planning code project that are related to residual materials management, building construction and natural environments protection.
Via our press release, which was jointly written with the citizen groups that also wrote their own briefs, we wish to highlight this inspiring mobilization, proof of the shared affection we have towards the last natural environments of Laval. Here are the citizen groups involved:
- CANOPÉE – Le réseau des bois de Laval
- Les amis des milieux naturels de Laval (AMNL)
- Les amis du bois de l'Équerre
- Les amis du bois de Naples
- Les amis du boisé du Souvenir
- Les amis du Trait-Carré
- Le comité des citoyens de Laval-Ouest (CCLO)
- Mobilisation bois de l’Équerre
- Parc Sentiers des Bois
- Sauvons le Boisé d’Auteuil
- Vigile Mille-Île
We truly hope our elected officials as well as the candidates for the November 2021 municipal elections will put this enormous brainstorm of ideas to good use by further developing their proposals and offer Laval citizens a city where it feels good to live and that people want to call their home.
Lastly, CRE de Laval sincerely thanks all organizations and citizens that dedicated their precious time to the redaction of those documents, which will certainly be used as a reference in our common fight for the preservation of ecosystems and to combat climate change.
