The absence of a gas station at the corner of Cavendish Boulevard and Mackle Road has really been felt by many Côte Saint-Luc residents. Well there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

City council has adopted the first draft by-law regarding the rezoning of this land, which previously housed a self-serve Esso station and a small depanneur. In its place will be a Shell station with a car wash and a mini-IGA convenience store.

A public consultation meeting will be held soon. Once all of the necessary approvals are given, demolition of the property will commence. We are told to expect completion of the project for next spring or summer.
