La fin du Piknic? Un parcours de golf pour le remplacer...
Votre ville de Montréal a tellement soif d'argent (péage, contraventions, parcomètres,...) qu'elle propose l'impensable!
Ceskberg and Associates is currently developping a new project in Canada, in partnership with the city of Montreal administration. The Club de Golf Le Ste-Helene will be a normal 72 golf course located on the Ste-Helene Island inside the Parc Jean-Drapeau. This beautifull site is located minutes away from downtown Montreal and is a 15 minutes walk from the Montreal Casino, La Ronde amusement park, and the Gilles Villeneuve Circuit, host of the F1 Grand Prix of Canada. If approved before October 2008, it should be ready for opening in the Summer of 2010.
The estimated construction costs of $125 million will mainly cover the acquisition of a section of the park, consctruction of the 18 holes, modifications to the Biosphere structure to include a Pro Shop and cantina. This will not interfere with the Environment Museum. Of course, the actual historical vocation of the site will not be altered at all. All existing infrastructures are kept and a large portion of the Park will still be freely available to everyone.
Ceskberg and Associates is also concerned about any environmental issue for this kind of project. As for example we use only biological manure for course construction and maintenance. Also, a team of experts selected by the local authorities will ensure that everything is done to minimize the environmental impacts of the whole construction process.
