The city's Intercultural Council, an advisory body, meets tomorrow to decide its position on the proposed name change. Photograph by : PIERRE OBENDRAUF, THE GAZETTE Published: Wednesday, November 01, 2006 In a dramatic about-face yesterday, all of Mayor Gerald Tremblay's councillors in Plateau Mont Royal borough, including the borough mayor, declared they oppose their leader's plan to rename Park Ave. and Bleury St. as Robert Bourassa Ave. With pressure mounting from Park Ave. merchants, local residents and a growing number of online petition signatories from across the city, the six members of the Montreal Island Citizens Union party in the Plateau wasted little time heeding Tremblay's promise this weekend to allow his councillors a free vote on the name change when it comes to city council on Nov. 27 .....Read the whole story here (if you like) http://www.canada.com/montrealgazette/news/story.html?id=0dfed0b3-8abc-484e-a6bb-7988a4462fae&k=75984 .............................I hope the people are successful,and eventually have their wishes honoured........................
