On Saturday, November 12, a citizen consultation was held in Saint-Lazare concerning the village core and the Cité-des-Jeunes sector. Animated by city representatives and by the firm L'Arpent, the activity allowed many citizens, merchants and developers to discuss and reflect on the future of the two sectors.

Several aspects were discussed, including modes of transportation, the commercial offer, public spaces, the mix of urban activities, social inclusion and housing.

Through this participatory process, several ideas emerged, but similar visions emerged for each sector, especially on the themes of developing a sense of community, safety, adapted development, active transportation and natural spaces.

Let's recall that during the summer of 2022, Ville de Saint-Lazare has started the realization of two specific urban planning programs (UPP), for the Cité-des-Jeunes and the village core sectors.

A UPP is an urban planning document that specifies a municipality's intentions for a part of its territory. It allows the municipality to establish planning and development objectives and proposes a series of concrete measures to achieve them.
