Container yard expansion: ‘We don’t want this either’ Montreal mayor says

Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante opposes a planned expansion of a container yard in Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, expressing concerns about environmental and community impact. Plante aligns with local residents and officials who fear increased pollution, traffic, and damage to green spaces. The Canadian National Railway (CN) plans to expand the site to boost capacity. The mayor argues the project doesn't align with regional development goals and calls for alternative solutions that consider environmental and quality of life issues, highlighting a need for dialogue between stakeholders to address local concerns.
