Well, city council has voted to rezone the lands around Ecole Champlain to commercial or residential. This will not affect the existing industries on the properties as they are grandfathered.
I don't have a problem with this (although selling the land for anything other than industrial use would likely be a problem for the existing owners). This would likely be a liability for them in the long term.
In the short term, nothing will change, but perhaps this will mollify the enraged parents at the school.
Eventually I would still like the city to consider purchasing these properties for parkland and associate it with the adjacent Humphrey Brook Trail....
