MONTREAL - The city of Montreal expects to spend $550 million on infrastructure work in the city’s east end during the next six years – and is depending on the private sector and higher levels of government to come up with at least another $4 billion to breathe some fresh economic vigour into the area, Mayor Gerald Tremblay told business leaders Monday.
He waited until questioned at a later press conference to confirm the long-touted Notre Dame St. E. revitalization project has again been placed indefinitely on the back burner.
Any mention of Notre Dame was entirely omitted from the city’s “global vision” for east- end development through to 2017, which Tremblay presented during a 48-minute luncheon speech Monday to an east-end business group.
