Gallery Parc's future seems to be secure. Claude Trepanier is working with city Councellor for Saint-Henri/Petite-Bourgogne/Pointe-Saint-Charles Veronique Fournier to ensure plans for providing a better shelter, seating areas, lighting and general care of Gallery Parc move forward. Below is a list of issues, produced by Claude in early July, that require immediate attention. These have been forward to the city with the expectation that they will be addressed. However, as Claude explains, at this point it is important to remain vigilant and be peristent.

Liste (Français)

1-  Éclairage.                                      
 Demande auprès du service concerné d’une étude de faisabilité.

2-  Point d’eau.                                    
Délai plus long car éclairage et présence de résidents autour du parc requis.

de béton; devra faire l’objet de demande auprès de la division bâtiment de la ville

4-  Tables de pique nique.

Bases de béton rejetées car voulons garder la mobilité des tables pour
régénérer la couverture végétale du parc.

Installation de bancs rejetées car obligation d’avoir une base de béton.

5-  Portes.                                          
Demande pour s’assurer que leurs pentures soient installées du coté extérieur du
portique afin qu’elles s’ouvrent vers l’extérieur du portique; portiques devraient-ils être bétonné afin d’éviter les flaques d’eau et de boue lors de pluie abondante ou

List (English)

1 - Lighting
Requires that a an application for a feasibility study be submitted to the city.

2 - Water
There will be a longer wait for this item as the feasibility study for the lighting and the numbers residents that will eventually live around is required and takes priority

3 - Shelter proposal.
Currently the idea is to acquire a former STM bus shelter and install it on a concrete base. This construction is subject to application with the city’s building division.

4 - Picnic tables.
Two additional tables have been requested

The proposal to install the tables on concrete bases was rejected because moving the tables throughout the season allows the parks vegetation to regenerate.

5 - Gates
A request has been made to have the gate’s hinges installed on the outer side of
portal so that they will open to the outside of the portico.

A request has been made to have the gate areas paved with concrete to avoid puddles and mud from heavy rain or melting snow.

6 - Grass maintainence
A request has been made to have the grass cut every two weeks in the spring and early summer.

7 - Garbage disposal
Call 311 to request that the containers be empted and notify them if the bins are being used to dispose of domestic waste bags.

Thank you for your vigilance Claude.
