Because of bad administrative decisions, Griffintown was left to slowly die and become a wasteland.Buildings were demolished because, after all, we needed to make way for that concrete blight (better known as the Bonaventure Expressway) and all those parking lots! The area was re-zoned as \u201clight industrial\u201d in 1962 (only industrial development permits were allowed from that point onwards), resulting in residents being pushed out.When the Lachine Canal closed in 1970, having lost its role as a major transport artery, the entire South West fell into neglect.Flash forward to 2002.The Lachine Canal re-opens, resulting in the entire area\u2019s revival and a condo boom in the South West that hasn\u2019t stopped since.All eyes are now on Griffintown.There\u2019s money to be made, as the city\u2019s next hot spot prepares to be resuscitated.But there\u2019s that pesky past lurking around again.All these neglected Art Deco and Old French colonial heritage buildings standing in the way of more condo development.What's worrisome about Griffintown is that few people actually live there at the moment to voice their opinions and to question decisions being made by the developer.A developer - it should be noted - whose, up to now, only other development experience has been the South Shore\u2019s Dix-30.Why should this worry you?Because the past is not the property of historians; it is a public possession.It belongs to all of us.In many respects, Griffintown\u2019s current urbanism plan was adapted to suit the developers plan, and not the other way around.After a public outcry by concerned citizens, a consultation RTO 72 ~~ \u201can 1GNAT Nl ; EE process commenced, to try and compensate for unfortunate decisions that were already made, but it might already be too little too late.I recently took a tour of Griffintown, offered by L'Autre Montreal (www.lautremontreal.com), a non-profit urban research and educational organization that offers guided tours throughout the city.I spent close to four hours completely mesmerized by my guide, who recounted the area\u2019s history, as well as the priceless architectural details in these buildings; many of them in immediate danger of disappearing.Author Michael Crichton once wrote: \u201cIf you didn\u2019t know history, you didn\u2019t know anything.You were a leaf that didn\u2019t know it was part of a tree.\u201d We're in danger of lopping off entire branches.And once those buildings come down, there\u2019s (101K I njunc and myopic To the Editor, WWW.WESTMOUNTEXAMINER.COM ANI SRR ca ace a SR 1EFF no going back.My guide spoke ofthe \u201cPrincipe de patience\u201d; about how important it is, when a building loses its vocation, its function, and you're not quite sure what to do with it, that you just make sure that it\u2019s safe and you leave it alone until you do.You don\u2019t demolish it, because, like death, it\u2019s irreversible.History has taught us these lessons well.Entire neighbours that used to be considered of no cultural and monetary value in the 70s (Old Montreal, the Plateau) came back with a vengeance on all fronts.The same is now happening with Saint- Henri and Griffintown.Wolves are at the door.Money often makes many bad decisions permissible.If history teaches us the mistakes we're going to make, isn\u2019t it time we stopped making them?ion attempt selfish I also find it selfish and myopic that a small contingent of Westmounters have sabotaged our project at this late date.It is important at this time that we call for the Voice of the People of our community who support the current and approved plans.Further delays will only hurt our finances and our well being.I support Paul Marriot in his suggestion to ask the WPUC to petition the withdrawal of this ill-timed injunction!

But what about you?What are the concerns or worries that you, your friends, the buyer or agent may bring to your attention?The major worry is the type and necessity of a contract with whomsoever is doing the work on your building.The concerns are, in no specific order: 1) Are the workmen / company Québec carded?2) Does the company have enough experience in the specific kind of work to be done?3) Have you had more than one estimate?4) Have you had your inspector / city representative validate the work to be done?5) Will it meet city bylaws and/or heritage (\u201cpatrimoine\u201d) laws?6) How much will the final cost be allowed to fluctuate over the contracted amount?7) What is the down payment?your | critter Fe à ithe Gains ar FRA i iC ei ÉE 2 An hour of your time may be the best investment you will ever make Waterhouse Wealth of Experience Are you a Business Owner or know someone who is?If so the following information may shock you According to a statistic compiled by the Canadian Federation of Independent Businesses (October 2006): « Only 10% of small to medium enterprise owners have a formal plan to sell, transfer, or wind down their business in the future » 38% have an informal succession plan « The remaining 52% do not have a succession plan at ail Please join us for a FREE SEMINAR on BUSINESS SUCCESSION PLANNING On Thursday May 9* 2012 at 7:45am - 8:45am in FRENCH presented by M Jean-Didier Bussières L.L.B of DeGrandpré specializing in M & A, Business Successions and Corporate Finance and Securities Laws In ENGLISH on Thursday May 10* 2012 at 7:45am -\u2014 8:45am presented by M George Stougiannos L.L.B of DeGrandpré specializing in Corporate and Commercial Law with emphasis in Corporate Finance and M & A LOCATION Eaton Centre \u2014 Tunnel Level 705 Ste-Catherine Street West, Suite 1-200 Montreal, Quebec, H3B 4G5 BREAKFAST WILL BE SERVED Limited seats so please call 514-289-8080 to reserve your spot or email angelo.petrakos@td.com 4420287 Lt AO CRE PRE PSC RE VER DECO RO A AVS When junk is left behind EY a a fines are possible.Always put in your RC vo that the contractor is responsible & \u201cea *for disposal.a - cam ~~ - - Ebay B SL eo ct Sra Bi Coes x 27.5 STE 3 cu, PEs SET ATES RRs IE PS : : - - com Westmount Examiner - Thursday, April 26 \u2019 2012 9 www.westmou ntexa miner.ine ES # A Pre TT iinet 3 0 Pas ia Ans A ea PRIE 5 Rs # î ou 55 pe () \u201c 5 > form i Es Ar SA EER æ ere oe ; Pol = Ë eu B J 000 TION non pe es 7 eme RCT.ces < op en Ho % a opr mT CAL ~.> pre mr mere cer ee a a oii CATER oll - 2] à ; TEE ET a ô 4 * ; Sd > = Tf PA + > M.2 Ke 4 Ge q 4 $Y A : PS 1 25 =, LW, Lu i 4 ve AS u eu a Ç«; = 3 AY D #4, Pr 3 = \u201cods À $i ¥ G2) \u20ac.4 57e + 5\" fs 9 5 3 «* va = + yA - # 5 \u201csing: © » & Me LATITUDENORD %.+ TR i \"4 LA 3 & ey * Pol x à pes | £4 5 ?o : if KG in A : tz : a A 4 sé # 3 13 * ti 5 ¥ # # : Hel!
