Construction and repairs many times take a toll on the environment.
The city of Deux-Montagnes, taking very seriously its duty towards the citizens providing a healthy and green environment. It has therefore taken measures to protect it.
In the wake of work to restore Boulevard Deux-Montagnes, the 29 trees that were in the median of this main artery has all been preserved. They were replanted in two City parks (Mikaël Kingsbury Park and Louis-Warren Park). In addition to this action to protect the city’s forest heritage, three times the number of trees will be planted along Boulevard Deux-Montagnes. This will happen at the end of the work, scheduled for mid-September.
More specifically, the City of Deux-Montagnes will plant, next fall, 90 large-caliber trees. These trees, (already large in size) will be planted on the boulevard Deux-Montagnes, between the railway and the boundaries of Saint- Eustache. The tree species that will enhance the city’s environment have also been selected for their good resistance to urban conditions, in particular their tolerance to de-icing salts.
With the heart of protecting, conserving and developing its urban forest heritage, the City of Deux-Montagnes also adopted its first tree policy last June. The latter aims to frame various actions concerning the trees that are found on its territory. It can be viewed on the City’s website.
