“Not everyone can’t walk there, reacted on Thursday to the minister Gaétan Barrette to the Log. In pediatrics, this is a clientele that is particular: children to carry, the stroller, the equipment that comes with it. To think that the world is going to come on foot, it is exaggerated. “

On Wednesday, The Newspaper reported that the medical clinic Angus, on Sherbrooke street East in Montreal, plans over the past year to create a new clubhouse that specialized in the care of children and pregnant women would be at the start a score of doctors.

The project leaders are asking to construct 124 parking spaces inside their new pavilion located in The Plateau-Mont-Royal, but the borough does not allows that 15.

Too much stationnements

The borough asserts that the project is not consistent with the vision of the sector that wishes to limit the use of the automobile.

“This is a project that is large, which will provide services to a large number of customers spread over the territory and that, by definition, will travel there by car,” added the minister.

The is of Montreal’s pediatric clinic since last year, had argued the administrator of the project, Marc de Bellefeuille, in the Journal.

The minister says to have no jurisdiction to advance the project and invites the district more flexibility. “There’s a level of service that may not be offered, and this, for philosophical reasons. This is unfortunate. “he concludes.

“I don’t have all the details, but I would like to recall that the number of parking lots that has been requested may be too ? I invite them to go sit down and talk, had responded to the mayor of Montréal, Valérie Plante, in his party-the mayor of the borough of Plateau, Luc Ferrandez.

The borough had indicated that the elected officials deviate from rarely of the decisions of its experts. The promoter had told the Newspaper that he was reluctant to officially present its project with so little certainty.
