A registry to oppose a development project in Westmount has not received the minimum number of signatures required to trigger a referendum.
A total of 122 signatures were needed on the registry, however only 77 people showed up to sign it.
This is the group’s second attempt to stop the project. In January 2018, when the city first approved the developer’s proposal, 85 residents signed the registry — 37 signatures below the amount required to trigger a referendum.
The project proposes transforming an old building into high-end apartments.
“We’re not saying don’t develop it,” said Currie, arguing the project could cause more traffic and noise. “It clearly needs to be given some love, everyone said it, but it really needs to be done differently.”
