Are they ever going to build the Dalle Parc?

When the plans for rebuilding the Turcot Interchange were unveiled back in 2010, they included an artist's rendering of an elevated park over Highway 20, the Dalle Parc.

It was meant to serve as a pedestrian and cyclist path connecting Notre-Dame-de-Grâce and the Sud-Ouest, but it was never built.

In this episode of Good Question, Montreal, we look at whether this project will ever see the light and at the challenges of retrofitting a city landscape to make it more walkable and bikeable.
