The committee is comprised of Hydro-Qu\u00e9bec representatives, Montreal West representatives and members of the public.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The committee wishes to provide an update on the discussions that began last June to improve the portion of the Hydro-Qu\u00e9bec project that affects the territory of Montreal West. The project involves conversion of the existing 120-kV overhead transmission line to 315 kV over 18 km between LaSalle and Saint-Laurent.<\/p>\n<p>The committee is seeking to maximize the project\u2019s advantages for residents while limiting any undesirable impacts to the greatest extent possible. It will address the public\u2019s concerns and help to improve the project. The committee was also tasked with assessing opportunities for multifunctional uses of the line right-of-way, such as landscaping and a multi-use trail.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On October 23, Hydro-Qu\u00e9bec organized an open house\/information evening to gather residents\u2019 initial reactions to the project. This input has provided direction for the discussions of the working committee. A second information meeting will be held in spring 2020 to present the results from the committee. Here again, the questions and comments of Montreal West residents will allow the project to be further improved. The committee will submit its final recommendations to Hydro-Qu\u00e9bec and to the Town of Montreal West by spring 2020 at the latest.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Joint working committee: Hydro-Qu\u00e9bec, Montreal West and members of the public<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Meeting dates<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>June 20, 2019<\/li>\n<li>September 10, 2019<\/li>\n<li>October 8, 2019<\/li>\n<li>November 12, 2019<\/li>\n<li>December 5, 2019<\/li>\n<li>2020 dates to be announced<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Discussion topics<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Location of towers<\/li>\n<li>Type of towers<\/li>\n<li>Human health and electric and magnetic fields<\/li>\n<li>Private and public use of the right-of-way<\/li>\n<li>Safety of the site<\/li>\n<li>Value of properties neighbouring the right-of-way<\/li>\n<li>Other<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>For more information<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Website:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.hydroquebec.com\/aqueduc-saraguay\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> www.hydroquebec.com\/aqueduc-saraguay\/en<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Hydro-Qu\u00e9bec Info-Project line:\u00a0 514 385-8888, ext. 3462<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-2-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-3253 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/montreal-west.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/logo.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"192\" height=\"202\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-15700 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/montreal-west.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/logo-hq-couleur-fb-992x521.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"266\" height=\"140\" srcset=\"https:\/\/montreal-ouest.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/logo-hq-couleur-fb-992x521.jpg 992w, https:\/\/montreal-ouest.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/logo-hq-couleur-fb-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/montreal-ouest.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/logo-hq-couleur-fb.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 266px) 100vw, 266px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A joint working committee was created as part of the consultation process.
