The City of Westmount has several parks and green spaces as well as a preserved urban forest contribute to the enhancement of its heritage. As part of its Parks and Green Spaces Master Plan, the City of Westmount has mandated Stantec to provide multidisciplinary professional services in urban planning, urban design and landscape architecture, as well as mobility, civil engineering and electricity services to revitalize Westmount Park.
Taking the form of a Protection and Enhancement Plan, the mandate includes an urban analysis, a participatory approach, and the design of a concept plan. Based on the guidelines resulting from the urban analysis and the participatory approach, the landscape architecture and urban planning team created a development concept in line with the needs and identity of Westmount Park.
The proposals include adapting the park to meet the needs of today's population with a view on sustainability, ensuring safe and accessible development and to preserving the intrinsic heritage values of the site. In order to improve the drainage of paths, to supply the pond with rainwater, to enhance the water recirculation and to reduce the use of water from the aqueduct, a stormwater management plan was also proposed.
