Join your local good neighbour committee!
Do you live near the future Pie-IX station or Provencher auxiliary building and want to have your say in how the Blueline project worksites will fit into your neighbourhood at the corner of Pie-IX and Jean-Talon this fall?
A good neighbor committee will be set up in the coming weeks as a space for dialogue between the STM and the local community. We’re currently looking for people who live in the area to join the committee and represent local residents at a few meetings per year.
For now, discussions will focus on the Pie-IX station worksite, but the Provencher auxiliary building worksite will also be addressed when it’s set up in 2025.
The committee’s purpose is to:
- Provide information and outline the different phases of the project.
- Start a dialogue between residents and project representatives that will continue throughout the work.
- Discuss how the impact of the work will be managed so that resident members can share this information with their local community.
- Understand the concerns residents have about the work and find solutions together.
- Allow local residents to make suggestions on specific topics chosen by the project office.
