Could a popular West Island market soon be redeveloped?
Global News
The city of Dollard-des-Ormeaux is inviting its residents to discuss and learn about the conditions of a future redevelopment of the Marché de l'Ouest.
It’s the only market of its kind on the West Island.
The Marché de l’Ouest has been serving the community since 1982.
With an indoor-outdoor market and mom-and-pop shops in and along its iconic strip, it’s a place that many people frequent and have come to love.
And so, when it comes to the site possibly being redeveloped, it’s no wonder that so many have an opinion about it.
“I just hope that it continues and flourishes and that the merchants in it can make a good living and we can all continue to use it,” said Dollard-des-Ormeaux resident, Jill Rollins.
The Marché de l’Ouest is owned by BTB Real Estate Investment Trust.
The city says it has not officially received plans from the company to redevelop the lot, but it is taking steps to renew its urban planning program and bylaws, to prepare itself for any plans that may be submitted in the future.
“We’re gonna present to the population what are the new regulations that we are proposing for the site,” said Sylvain Boulianne, Dollard-des-Ormeaux’s urban planning director. “First of all, this is a commercial zoning bylaw and we want to add the possibility to put residential activities on this site – so to have a mixed-use site eventually.”
