What actions will be taken to reduce the impact on the green cover?
The current tree bylaw does not currently apply to this sector of our territory. It is therefore our intention to revise it in the coming year to include it.
A study of the trees included in the preliminary design of the boulevard is underway to identify any potential trees of interest.
The number of new trees that will need to be planted will be calculated once the design has been finalized and in compliance with the conditions set out in the Tree Bylaw.
What will development in this area look like?
The municipal plan will be revised in 2024 to determine the uses to be permitted on land bordering the extension. Public consultations will be held to allow residents to share their ideas and feedback on future development in the area.
The vision for the new serviced land includes densification and a continuation of what currently exists elsewhere on Dieppe Boulevard.
What economic benefits are anticipated?
The project will make more than 500 acres available for future development along Dieppe Boulevard, likely to generate more than $18 million annually in property taxes alone when fully developed. Not to mention the benefits resulting from jobs created and housing developed.
What will the Dieppe Boulevard extension look like?
The preliminary design of the boulevard, i.e., where it will be located, is 95% complete, and particular attention was paid to avoiding wetlands. Consultations with Indigenous peoples are also slated to take place in 2024, and discussions with landowners are ongoing.
