It is named after the former parking garage that stood on the site before it was demolished by the City in 2000.<\/p>\n<p>The City, which owned the land at the time, conducted a land swap in the 2000s under the Tremblay administration, which resulted in the former Pigeon Hole parking lot site being transferred to a private owner. Despite this, a temporary park was allowed to be built on the site, which has been appreciated by residents, workers and tourists visiting the area.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"mb-4 mb-md-0 offset-sm-1 col-sm-10 offset-md-1 col-md-4\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"slider-ctn\">\n\t\t\t<div data-small-slider class=\"small-slider\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"slide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-ctn\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"small-slider-image\" src=\"https:\/\/hmtl.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Stationnement-du-Pigeon-Hole-Propos-Montre%CC%81al.jpeg\" alt=\"slider image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"image-title with-bullets\">Stationnement du Pigeon Hole<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"caption\">Source: Propos Montr\u00e9al<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"slide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-ctn\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"small-slider-image\" src=\"https:\/\/hmtl.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Pigeon-Hole-Park-Cult-MTL.jpeg\" alt=\"slider image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"image-title with-bullets\">Pigeon Hole Park<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"caption\">Source: Cult MTL<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"slide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-ctn\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"small-slider-image\" src=\"https:\/\/hmtl.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Parc-du-Pigeon-Hole-Propos-Montre%CC%81al.jpeg\" alt=\"slider image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"image-title with-bullets\">Parc du Pigeon Hole<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"caption\">Source: Propos Montr\u00e9al<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"slide-custom-prev material-icons with-bullets\">keyboard_arrow_left<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"slide-custom-next material-icons with-bullets\">keyboard_arrow_right<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n\t<section class=\"single-big-col\">\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-lg-8 offset-lg-2 col-xl-6 offset-xl-3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"title\"><\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"subtitle\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The owner now wishes to build a 7-storey building complex with 229 residential condominium units. At the February 11, 2021 meeting of the Ville-Marie borough&#8217;s Planning Advisory Committee, the proposed project was favourably recommended by 5 of the 9 PAC members. The reasons given for approving the project are as follows (from the <a href=\"https:\/\/ville.montreal.qc.ca\/documents\/Adi_Public\/CA_Vma\/CA_Vma_ODJ_LPP_ORDI_2021-03-09_18h30_FR.pdf\">Ville-Marie Borough Council minutes of March 9, 2021, pages 77-78, translated from French<\/a>):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;The proposal stems from a sensitive analysis of the particular context of Old Montreal. It improves the coherence of the built frontage of the adjacent streets, while reaffirming the dominant characteristics of the urban landscape in terms of siting and scale.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;The tripartite composition allows for a successful integration of the project with the buildings in the area in a language that remains contemporary.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;The proposed materiality is rich and directly inspired by that found in Old Montreal.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>However, the other 4 members of the Planning Advisory Committee, including Richard Ryan and Sophie Mauzerolle, dissented because of their strong concern about the lack of sensitivity of the project with respect to the high implantation rate and the lack of green space in the project given the current appropriation of the site by the citizens.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this favourable recommendation, the land is part of the declared heritage site of Old Montreal and therefore requires official authorization from the Minister of Culture and Communications, Mrs. Nathalie Roy, before permits can be issued and work can begin.<\/p>\n<p>Citizens concerned about the transformation of this popular park have launched an <a href=\"https:\/\/parcpigeonhole.com\/\">information website<\/a> and an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.change.org\/p\/ville-de-montreal-save-old-montreal-green-space-pigeon-hole-p\">online petition<\/a> addressed to the Minister of Culture and Communications, the City of Montreal and the Conseil du patrimoine de Montr\u00e9al. Finally, to learn more about the history of the Pigeon Hole parking lot, Martin B\u00e9rub\u00e9 has dedicated an <a href=\"http:\/\/proposmontreal.com\/index.php\/le-stationnement-pigeon-hole\/\">article to it on his blog Propos Montr\u00e9al<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Despite citizen mobilization, the building was ultimately constructed on the site in 2024.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n\t<section class=\"text-items-list\">\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\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"section-border\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-sm-10 offset-sm-1 col-md-8 offset-md-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"informations\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"text-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"title-ctn\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMunicipality or borough\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"sub-text-item\">Ville-Marie borough<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"text-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"title-ctn\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIssues\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"sub-text-item\">Mechanisms for protection<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"sub-text-item\">Urban Development<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"sub-text-item\">Urban landscape<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"text-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"title-ctn\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOwner(s)\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"sub-text-item\">Private: company<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"text-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"title-ctn\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThreat(s)\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"sub-text-item\">Demand for land, speculation<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"sub-text-item\">Inappropriate\/incompatible use<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"sub-text-item\">Demolition<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"text-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"title-ctn\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tManager(s)\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"sub-text-item\">Owner<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"text-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"title-ctn\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCategorie(s)\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"sub-text-item\">Public spaces \/ Parks \/ green space<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"text-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"title-ctn\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRecognition status\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"sub-text-item\">Located in the Montreal declared heritage site (Old Montr\u00e9al);\r\nLocated in an area of exceptional heritage value &#8211; Old Montr\u00e9al<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-sm-10 offset-sm-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"section-border\"><\/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=\"cta-image-overlay\">\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\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cta-ctn\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"bg-image\" src=\"https:\/\/hmtl.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/10_Acade%CC%81mie-des-Saints-Anges3-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"background image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"overlay\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"title\">Take action!<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"cta-text\">The actions of Heritage Montreal are sometimes direct and public, sometimes more discreet, but heritage is everyone&#8217;s concern.
