One other tidbit I read in last week's Le Droit, Scott Street (directly behind this project) would disappear and Lac-des-Fées parkway would be extended to Taché.

Does that mean they will just rename the street? Lac-des-Fees runs into Scott now... and the new road would still have to meet Tache at the same spot.

I could see them removing the old shell station and using that area to create a big intersection connecting Lac-des-Fees, Tache and St-Joseph (once they extend St-Joseph south of Tache into the University.

I'm not saying it is a good idea, but the Shell station is only good for a service station as the lot is tiny... and since the last one didn't work there maybe they will re-use it for something other than commercial.

I think they'll just rename Scott Street. to be honest, when I first heard about this project, I thought it was going up right on the corner where the shell station is, but it's a block to the west.

I wonder if they plan to make a roundabout...hmm..

Any more roundabouts in Ottawa-Gatineau and we're all going to have to go to roundabout school.

Somehow, this song gets stuck in my head when I drive in Gatineau now.

Well, you'd better hold on to your hat!! There are more going along Boulevard du Plateau heading west towards Vanier... also have heard that when they complete the extension of Pink (four lanes to Vanier) there will be round abouts all along there as well...

Nothing seems to be happening at the construction site.. I wonder what the hold up is?

Aylmer · #9 Posted **Dec 19, 2007, 5:12 PM**

maby the design is too ugly.

gatt · #10 Posted **Dec 24, 2007, 9:51 PM**

pénurie de main -d'oeuvre j'imagine.

harls · #11 Posted **Jan 28, 2008, 4:05 PM**

They are working on excavation now.. I haven't been by the site in weeks, but it looks like they're well underway.

gatt · #12 Posted **Jan 30, 2008, 12:10 AM**

cool!it's gonna be a good addition to this part of the city.

harls · #13 Posted **Feb 19, 2008, 4:35 PM**

Piles have been driven now. Tried to get a pic from the bus this morning, but didn't work.

harls · #16 Posted **Apr 22, 2008, 8:15 PM**

Those are insane prices. There is a killer view of downtown Gatineau/Ottawa from that hill though, maybe that is factored into the equation as well.

I hope they get rid of that abandoned gas station on the corner. what an eyesore.

I saw some dudes pumping water out of the site this morning, first activity I've seen there in a long time..

Radster · #18 Posted **May 22, 2008, 3:13 PM**

They seem to be working on and off at that site. You are right, all of last week there was no action there, including this week, then this morning they brought in some machinery and closed off part of the street. I wonder what the sales situation is like for this building, maybe low sales are slowing down the construction?

harls · #19 Posted **May 27, 2008, 4:22 PM**

The water pump was STILL going this morning... that huge downpour we got last night probably didn't help matters.

Some people were there today, but nothing was happening. Hope they didn't hit a spring or something, that would suck.

harls · #20 Posted **Jul 8, 2008, 7:15 PM**

Still not much happening at this site. There seems to be people there every day, but very little is moving forward. It looked like part of the parking lot at the Normandie (builing next door, just up the hill) gave way and they are shoring up the supports. Guess they don't want a "Galleria" type incident to happen.
