Street Closure To carry out preparatory work, Valérie Street will be closed to traffic between Harmony and Cordova Streets starting July 2. Please note that this work may result in reduced water pressure in the area. Planned interruption of the drinking water service To carry out the maintenance work, we will have to interrupt your drinking water service as of 8 a.m. on Thursday, July 3. In anticipation of this interruption, we recommend that affected residents stock up on water to meet their consumption needs during the interruption period. Once water supply is restored, a preventative boil-water advisory will be in effect for a minimum of 48 hours and until further notice. Recommendations: Please note that you must boil your tap water (bringing it to a bubbling boil) for at least 1 minute before drinking it, or use bottled water for: drinking or preparing beverages; preparing baby bottles and baby food; washing and preparing food to be eaten raw (fruits, vegetables, etc.); preparing food that doesn’t require long cooking time; making ice cubes; brushing your teeth or rinsing your mouth; providing water to pets. You may use unboiled tap water to: prepare food and dishes that require long boiling time for cooking; wash dishes in hot water, making sure to dry them well; wash clothing; take a shower or bath (make sure that young children do not swallow water while bathing). Lifting of the boil-water advisory Water samples will be collected from various locations and submitted for laboratory analysis. The boil-water advisory will be lifted once we receive the results of these tests, which requires a minimum of 48 hours.

Vision for the Charles-E. Frosst Site

Municipal Profile

Charles-E. Frosst Site

Historical Context

For many years, the Charles-E. Frosst site was primarily home to the Merck Frosst industrial campus that included a variety of pharmaceutical activities such as research and development, drug manufacturing and offices, with over 1,000 employees. In 2010, the Merck Frosst industry relocated their administrative offices elsewhere in Kirkland and the lot was sold to a real estate developer in 2012.

To this day, 75% of the site remains vacant and in dire need of attention. With the arrival of the REM, the West Island and of course Kirkland, will be transformed over the next few years. In the context of this new reality, the Kirkland Town Council saw a unique opportunity to look at the feasibility of re-purposing the northern part of the Charles-E. Frosst site into a residential area.

PLANNING PROCESS

To achieve this end, the City opted for a participatory planning approach with area residents.
Area residents were invited to the Kirkland Sports Complex on two separate occasions:
