Agree. I still don’t get it. The two REM stations in the borough are surrounded by low- or no-rise and single-family homes. The biggest is Le Lalande near Sunnybrooke, but it’s not that big. Place Gouin on Meighen is a short walk from Pierrefonds-Roxboro station but it’s only 9 floors and not very large either. And that’s about it. There is dense low- to mid-rise a bit further away on boul. de Pierrefonds and des Sources, but no rush to develop around the vicinity of the two stations. The old Homard Plus site has had a sign for a couple of years now, advertising a small condo apartment building, but it will be six floors and only 28 units. Meanwhile the borough is still pushing for the area around borough hall (de Pierrefonds and St-Jean) to be a “new downtown” for the area, with no good transit other than the 68/468 and a few more circuitous routes nearby.
