New alternate solution for the Turcot reconstruction proposed

A Concordia-based solution offers different views to improve the Turcot interchange re-construction about to get underway.

The McGill Daily's Carla Green reports on the project entitled “cure minceur”

Architect Pierre Bri-set and Concordia Urban Planning professor Pierre Gauthier talk about the “cure-minceur,” or "slow diet". It proposes reducing the number of ramps and removing the extension road to the new M-U-H-C super-hospital.

The McGill Daily’s report says the current P.Q. provincial government is likely to have a public forum about the Turcot reconstruction. No word if these solutions will be adopted.

The Turcot is a large three-level highway located in the city's Saint-Henri neighborhood. Built in the 1960s before Expo sixty-seven, the highway is reaching its last few years of use, according to Quebec's transport ministry.
