water that prevented ships from travelling from Montreal to the Great Lakes. In the 17th century, when Lachine was a fur trading post and refuge, two roads were built: Lower Lachine Road, the first portage road that linked Lachine to Ville-Marie, and Upper Lachine Road (present-day Saint-Joseph Boulevard), which served as the main thoroughfare toward the west. To bypass the rapids, Dollier de Casson, Sulpician superior and seigneur of the Island of Montreal, initiated the first canal project in North America, in 1689. This project was never completed, but a few vestiges remain on the present territory of East Lachine.<\/p>\n<p>The Lachine Canal was built in 1821, inaugurated in 1824, and expanded in 1843-1848. It facilitated the transportation of goods and provided the hydroelectricity needed to power industrial production. In 1847, railway services were introduced to Lachine. With this, the territory along the canal became the Canadian leader in industrial activity between 1873 and 1885.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the 19th century, several companies set up in the East Lachine sector: Dominion Bridge, which made a name for itself in bridge and metal structure construction, opened its doors north of Saint-Joseph Boulevard in 1885; Dominion Wire and Dominion Wire Rope and Cable arrived shortly thereafter. In the early 20th century, the equipment manufacturers Allis-Chalmers and Jenkins Brother completed the industrial landscape of East Lachine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n\t<section class=\"full-width-text  \">\n\t\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-sm-10 offset-sm-1 col-md-6 offset-md-3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"text-ctn\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"title\">Specific characteristics of the site<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"content\"><p>The territory is still home to several structures of heritage interest. There are structural components of historical significance: the vestiges of the Sulpicians\u2019 canal, the Lachine Canal, the railway tracks and Saint-Joseph Boulevard.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Designated in the Montr\u00e9al Master Plan as one of the founding roads of Montreal, Saint-Joseph Boulevard (Upper Lachine Road) was instrumental to the industrial development of East Lachine and identified by the City of Montreal as a sector with strong archaeological potential.<\/li>\n<li>The vestiges of the Sulpicians\u2019 canal, traces of which exist throughout East Lachine, is considered a significant element of the sector\u2019s archaeological heritage. According to a 2008 heritage study, it is the only place where this canal could be developed in situ (City of Montreal, 2008).<\/li>\n<li>The Lachine Canal, a 14.5-km navigable route that borders East Lachine, is considered the cradle of Montreal\u2019s development as a manufacturing centre. It has been recognized for its historical value by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada (1929) and was designated a sector of exceptional heritage value by the Montr\u00e9al Master Plan.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While several buildings have been destroyed, the sector still features some remarkable industrial complexes whose establishment and construction methods testify to the sector\u2019s industrial past.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Dominion Bridge plant is a complex of 15 to 20 buildings erected between 1883 and 1947, and divided into two sectors by Saint-Joseph Boulevard.<\/li>\n<li>The arrival of Dominion Bridge prompted the creation of related industrial enterprises: Dominion Wire (1883) and Dominion Wire Rope (steel cables, 1886), which later became Stelfil.<\/li>\n<li>The buildings of the Allis-Chalmers Bullock Ltd complex have been recognized for their heritage value, and constitute a homogenous ensemble that has been completely conserved.<\/li>\n<li>The railway tracks in the sector also mark the landscape. Built starting in 1847, they crisscross the territory, connecting the various industrial complexes and the buildings within these complexes. The spur lines (interior and exterior) and retractable bridges that facilitated the transportation of merchandise testify to the site\u2019s functional organization.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n\t<section class=\"full-width-text  dark-version\">\n\t\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-sm-10 offset-sm-1 col-md-6 offset-md-3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"text-ctn\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"title\">Threats<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"content\"><p>Starting in the 1960s, several urban transformations led to the decline of the businesses along the canal: the opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway (1959), the closing of the Lachine Canal (1970), and the construction of major road infrastructure, including the Metropolitan Expressway, Autoroute 20 and the Turcot and Saint-Pierre interchanges. Several businesses closed their doors: Jenkins (1991), Allis-Chalmers Bullock Ltd (2000), Dominion Bridge (2003) and Stelfil-Mittal (2008). Today, only a few (Cintube, Maax, Del M\u00e9tal, etc.) continue to operate on a site that has been largely abandoned.<\/p>\n<p>In 2017, a commuter train line was built in the Lachine sector followed by a real estate development on the former Jenkins site. The municipality of Lachine is promoting the transformation of the sector, but the territory continues to be very cut off and, as noted in the 2008 heritage study, the general layout of the East Lachine sector corresponds to its original vocation and, as a result, presents a number of challenges in terms of the quality of the landscape, traffic circulation and development of the public domain (City of Montreal, 2008). This, in turn, has made reclassification of the complex a major challenge.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n\t<section class=\"full-width-text  \">\n\t\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-sm-10 offset-sm-1 col-md-6 offset-md-3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"text-ctn\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"title\">Current status<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"content\"><p>In October 2018, the executive committee of the City of Montreal mandated the Office de consultation publique de Montr\u00e9al (OCPM) to hold public consultations on the future of the East Lachine sector. An information session was held on February 24, 2019. The City and the Lachine borough presented a proposal for an ecodistrict.<\/p>\n<p>On March 18, 2018, the City launched a Bureau de projet partag\u00e9 in which the Table de d\u00e9veloppement social de Lachine (Concert\u2019Action Lachine) and the CAL coordinated consultations on the redevelopment of the East Lachine sector.
