I had a talk with the Gatineau councellor (Mr. Pilon) representing the Val-Tetreau Hull sector, which includes the Plateau sector, and he gave me some news with regards to the construction happening on the corner of du Plateau blvd and des Grives blvd, where First Capital Realty has started construction in the past couple weeks. This development will bring a new Royal Bank branch, a Jean Coutu pharmacy and a eye glass (lunnetterie) store, these will be LEED certified buildings.
Furthermore, Trinity Developments, on whose land the Rona and Starcité (among many others) sit, will also construct a Boston Pizza this year, which will be beside the Starcité, behind the Rona, finally a much needed restaurant/sports bar in this area!
By 2009, des Grives blvd will be extended from du Plateau blvd. to Allumettieres blvd to help relieve the traffic situation in the Plateau, this will offer another entrance into this entire mushrooming sector for people driving from Aylmer and Ottawa, all the city is waiting for is the "ok" from the MTQ (Quebec Ministry of Transport).
