Montreal mayoral candidate Valerie Plante says if she wins the election, her party will build a half-kilometre long waterfront promenade on Ile Sainte-Helene.
The project would be part of a review of the Parc Jean Drapeau revamp and the walkway would connect La Ronde to Place des Nations.
Plante says the plans for the promenade had been scrapped but that Projet Montreal would re-instate itĀ if elected to allow Montrealers "better access" to the St. Lawrence River.
The party says the walkway would be integrated into the current redevelopment plan, and would therefore not incur any additional cost.
