Le maire de Bois-des-Filion confirme qu’il a dans sa mire James William Awad
un résident de sa ville qui multiplie les infractions municipales et qui fait les manchettes à l’international avec son party privé d’influenceurs qui a dégénéré dans un avion de Sunwing.

« On se réunit ce soir [mardi] pour voir vers quoi on s’enligne
On va essayer d’évaluer tout ça et donner une certaine quiétude aux citoyens qui habitent à proximité aussi »
Ce dernier confie avoir été surpris en découvrant les statues devant les résidences de James William Awad dans Le Journal mardi matin
« Je ne savais pas qu’il avait des statues et des plaques [avec des menaces de mort]
J’ai constaté tout ça en même temps que tout le monde qui a lu l’article
Je suis tombé en bas de ma chaise en voyant les statues »
Awad voulait se débarrasser de ses voisins sur la place du Coteau
Il a déjà acheté six maisons et un terrain boisé pour la somme de 6,3 millions $
L’homme de 28 ans a érigé des statues à son effigie sur ses terrains
il tient un micro à la main ou encore une épée
« J’ai demandé aux urbanistes de regarder si les sculptures respectaient la réglementation municipale ou non »
Awad notamment à propos de constructions sans permis
précise le maire de la ville située au nord de Montréal.
Au moins cinq amendes de plus de 800 $ chacune
lui ont été remises au cours des deux dernières années.
Awad aurait aussi coupé 26 arbres sans permis sur ses terrains entraînant un constat d’infraction de 3875 $.
James William Awad assure que la coupe des arbres est une faute de son entrepreneur qui n’a pas « coupé à la bonne place ».
Ce dernier construirait en ce moment un studio d’enregistrement et un spa pour le club qu’il veut créer sur la place du Coteau.
Blanchette indique que cela serait illégal puisque ce secteur de Bois-des-Filion est « une zone résidentielle réservée aux maisons unifamiliales et non aux activités commerciales ».
« On n’est pas en mesure de constater l’intérieur des maisons
On a essayé d’intervenir plusieurs fois pour analyser les propriétés
on ne peut pas défoncer une porte barrée »
Blanchette ajoute que lorsque la Ville s’approche pour réaliser des inspections
toutes les personnes qui habitent ou travaillent dans les propriétés d’Awad disparaissent.

Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada David Lametti
on behalf of federal Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs
Infrastructure and Communities Domenic Leblanc
and Québec Transport Minister and Minister responsible for l’Estrie François Bonnardel
2021 press conference held in Laval to announce the extension of Autoroute 19 between Laval and Bois-des-Filion
Dignitaries from all three levels of government
Members of the National Assembly and mayors of municipalities directly or indirectly impacted by the much-awaited and highly-desired highway project were present in large numbers to mark this important historical moment heralding the addition of 10-km to Autoroute 19
which crosses the Rivière des Prairies the Papineau-Leblanc Bridge connecting Montréal’s Ahuntsic-Cartierville borough to Duvernay in Laval
will relieve congestion between Montréal and Bois-des-Filion by widening Route 335 to three lanes
a continuation of A-19 from Autoroute 440 to the Athanase-David Bridge
nearly 34,000-55,000 vehicles use the Athanase-David Bridge daily
The lands reserved for the project were expropriated in 1973 in anticipation of a future extension of A-19
The first phase will stretch the 19 between Laval and Bois-des-Filion
This initial stage covering the construction of the Saint-Saëns interchange in Laval
is scheduled to start immediately and run until 2023
Work on other segments of the extended highway will follow
The federal government pledged $260.4 million for the work in 2019
based on $520.9 million in eligible project costs
The Government of Quebec has kicked in with $360 million
The entire project is estimated at $500-$600 million
The additions propose a new bridge east of the Athanase-David link
The re-development of Autoroute 640 interchange
and a terminus in the northeast quadrant of expressways 640 and 19 are also on the roster
Route 335 will be widened to three lanes in each direction
electric vehicles and carpooling over the 10 kms between St
The project also provides for noise barriers
the redevelopment and extension of the multi-purpose path for pedestrians and cyclists
With palpable enthusiasm reigning in the conference venue
David Lametti stated that he had never seen so many journalists and guests at a press conference
apparently well-impressed with the full house at the event
he thanked Quebec Transport Minister Bonnardel
federal MPs Angelo Iacono (Alfred-Pellan) and Yves Robillard (Marc-Aurèle-Fortin)
Lametti stated that he’s “proud of this first phase in the construction of efficient and safe roads and in contributing to the economy
and community life.” An apparent fan of the world’s most beautiful game
the minister pointed to soccer activities as an important part of community life that will be positively affected by the enhanced transport services the completed highway project will provide for residents of the region
“will be good jobs and business opportunities.”
Québec minister Bonnardel described the province’s crucial role in this massive project
“It is with great pleasure that I confirm the extension (widening) of Highway 19 between Laval and Bois-des-Filion,” he said
This first step testifies to our government’s commitment to improve mobility in the suburbs of the metropolitan region
and to contribute to the region’s economic recovery
I had told my team that we wouldn’t hold a press conference until we had a site where you’re going to see tractors and workers about to start the work.”
Auteuil will have a street reconstructed over a stretch of approximately 1.2 Km that will lead to the widening and reconstruction of the roadway structure
the addition of closed drainage and bicycle paths to be completed by 2023
It will also permit the construction of a section of the 19 northbound for 1.45 km
The bill for the Papineau Highway is $600 million
since a timeline will be established to complete the intended project
Minister Bonnardel emphasized the carbon neutrality of the entire project
This first segment will begin 2021 and last until 2023
”There will also be a bus terminus (19 and 640)
a bicycle lane and a sidewalk for pedestrians
This Phase 1 of the construction will cost $60 million which will be completed in 2023.” Minister Bonnardel thanked and gave credit to past ministers and politicians who were actively involved in moving this dossier forward
Recently-elected Laval mayor Stéphane Boyer
saying he was clearly thrilled that the project is finally on its way
“It’s been talked about for at least 40 years,” he stated
joking that “I probably wasn’t born yet (when it was first conceived)
“Transport and congestion are a necessity that must be resolved and the importance of public transit in carrying out the work (is evident)
We are no longer in the days of only building highways
You have to consider public transit and safety
I’m delighted that we are now thinking about pedestrians and cyclists when we build highways.”
federal MP Mario Laframboise added his view of the announced project: “We have listened to the people and we are delivering the goods
Our government is proud to carry out a project that will support economic vitality
reduce road congestion and thus give a better quality of life to the citizens of my region.”
Other voices have also welcomed the good news of this highway project
Member of the National Assembly for Sainte-Rose: “Today’s announcement marks the start of a new chapter related to mobility in Laval and surroundings
It’s with great pride that welcome the unfolding of this project
The reconfiguration of the Saint-Saens interchange will improve the daily lives of people who use this very busy sector.”
there will be closures in the evening on Route 335
The Quebec Ministry of Transport will advise in advance
including a temporary intersection which will be built at the Route 335 intersection and Avenue des Perron
This project was the subject of a commitment by the Government of Canada for a contribution of $260 million through the New Building Canada Fund
Territorial Infrastructure Component – National and Regional Projects
part of the Montreal Metropolitan Community vision to improve transit for people
was first slated for completion the year of the Paris Peace Accords
A road five decades in the making and a symbol for political cynicism is starting to take shape
Announced with great fanfare by successive provincial governments for completion in 1973
work on the extension of Autoroute 19 between Autoroutes 440 in Laval and 640 in Bois-des-Filion has officially begun
The federal government announced a $240-million investment in the project
with the province to announce its contribution shortly
The extension begins with the Phase 1 construction of the Saint-Saëns interchange in Laval
the first of four new interchanges planned
Its commissioning is scheduled for completion of Phase 1 in 2023
this project will improve mobility in Laval and the Lower Laurentians for public transit users
A multifunctional trail will also be developed to allow active mobility
Bois-des-Filion and Ste-Anne-des-Plaines are all affected by the heavy traffic on Highway 19
the gap in the stretch to Highway 640 causing massive headaches for local residents and businesses
millions of dollars in productivity and tons of emissions due to daily gridlock
and travel will be improved for motorists and public transit,” said Quebec Transport Minister François Bonnardel
“We are going to make sure that this large-scale project runs smoothly.”
“This launch will act as a real balm for many Laval families who will soon be able to spend more quality time together,” said Laval Mayor Stéphane Boyer
this work responds favourably to a variety of issues
providing for an improvement in the mobility of public transit and active mobility: a modern way of doing things that will undoubtedly be appreciated by residents.”
and will be carried out between Saint-Martin East and Industriel in Bois-des- Filion
some 34,000 vehicles use the Athanase-David bridge every day which overlooks the Mille Îles River and on which interventions are planned as well
Phase 1 includes construction of the Saint-Saëns interchange and reconstruction of that road over nearly 1.2 km; construction of a 1.45 km section of Highway 19 northbound; construction of the first segments of the multifunctional trail; and construction of a new westward link for Saint-Saëns Est
that year’s rush hour traffic had already increased by 400% over eight years
with 60,000 cars stuck in daily gridlock as infrastructure fails to keep pace with economic and residential development
The roadway which was slated for completion a year before the Montreal Olympics
would be the only public transit link from the north shore to Laval and its larger business centres
The 2013 delay was described as an “act of contempt” by then-Bois de Filion Mayor Paul Larocque
who led a vigorous movement to spur governments to act
stating at the time: “The completion of Highway 19 has become a symbol of the cynicism of politicians who use this issue as an electoral platform
Quebec Premier Jean Charest launched pre-project studies with a completion date set for 2015
some 40 years after the expropriation of downtown Bois-de-Filion and the construction of four underpasses

With Quebecers preparing to go to the polls on October 1
the province’s Liberal government announced a potential enticement for Laval-area voters with the release of preliminary details for the long-awaited Autoroute 19 extension project
which was made by Premier Philippe Couillard with Laval’s six Liberal MNAs on hand as well as Laval mayor Marc Demers and several members of city council
took place from a small green space in northern Laval near the spot where Route 335 (the future A-19) juts out across the Rivière des Mille Îles to the North Shore and Bois-des-Filion
Quebecers don’t want to be caught up in traffic,” said Premier Couillard
“They don’t want to spend interminable hours on the road instead of spending quality time at home
Road congestion is harmful to the quality of life
it costs a lot and is an obstacle to progress
“The project for urban autoroute 19 as presented today fits perfectly in with our ambitious and modern vision for a new Quebec,” he added
“It is a unified vision that places mobility and the quality of life of citizens
the success of businesses and the conservation of the living environment at the heart of our preoccupations and actions.”

which is a major issue for the regions north of Montreal,” said Transport Minister André Fortin
“This solution is part of the vision in our sustainable mobility policy recently announced
and it answers to the needs of users who wish to reduce the time they spend getting around while improving the quality of their lives.”
“Today’s announcement demonstrates the willingness of our government to launch the final phase for the extension of the A-19,” said Mille-Îles Liberal MNA Francine Charbonneau
who is Minister Responsible for the Laval Region in the Liberal cabinet
“I can only rejoice at this great news that will allow in the future for the improvement of the quality of life of all the citizens on the North Shore
Being able to count on an efficient transportation network will come to support the local economy and the province’s economy at the same time.”
When the work does start it will involve construction of a new three-lane roadbed along the present highway
There will also be four new interchanges and an existing interchange will be reconstructed
a twin span will be added to the Athanase David Bridge over the Rivière des Mille Îles
new commuter parking and a terminus will be created
and anti-noise barriers will be constructed along the sides of certain sections of the A-19 extension which will run from Saint-Martin Blvd
East in Laval northward across the river to Industriel Blvd
According to a press release issued by the provincial government
land survey work for the project was conducted in March
geological surveying and soil analysis tests were done in preparation for beginning work
A call for tenders is expected to be launched soon for the preparation of plans and architectural sketches

MontrealBenjamin News to close after 97 yearsBy CTV MontrealPublished: January 10, 2014 at 7:07PM EST
This article was published more than 15 years ago
Bloc Quebecois Leader Gilles Duceppe holds a news conference in Bois-des-Filions
The Bloc Québécois expressed willingness Wednesday to topple the Tory government if it failed to deliver on its priorities
Leader Gilles Duceppe was non-committal when asked whether he'd help the Liberals bring down the Harper government in a non-confidence vote month
But as he stood surrounded by posters stamped with the election-style slogan "Debout" - meaning Stand Up - Mr
Duceppe said he won't shy away from triggering a campaign if need be
He says he'll be guided by one constant principle in each parliamentary vote: Is this good for Quebec
"Our position was never to ask whether or not we want elections," Mr
He dismissed the government's repeated assertion that Canadians don't want another election
Duceppe turned that Tory talking point on its head
He said regular citizens might not want an election but
they'd rather see the Harper government defeated
Duceppe used employment insurance as an example
The Tories have expressed willingness to enrich EI but
have rejected opposition proposals for making the system more generous and uniform across the country
'Should I accept the unacceptable to avoid elections,' they say
He offered some examples of things he won't accept from the Tories
The non-starters include a plan to create a national securities regulator
a refusal to apply Quebec's French-only language law in federal institutions in the province
and what he describes as an absence of help for the forestry industry compared with the mountains of federal cash heaped on Ontario's auto sector
"We're considering each issue at its own value - if it's good for Quebec
then we're supporting it and otherwise we're opposing it and facing the consequences
"We're putting Quebec's interests before the party's interest."
Duceppe said he's not averse to an election
He offered a preview Wednesday of the approach he'll take in the next campaign
With the Liberals riding relatively high in the province and the Tories now a distant third
Duceppe turned around every question about the Harper government and used his response to blast both the Conservative Leader and the Liberal one
that Michael Ignatieff is no better than Stephen Harper when it comes to defending the French language
The Liberals also oppose Bloc efforts to apply the Quebec language law in federal institutions
Duceppe argued that - with that kind of attitude - his opponents' recognition of a Quebecois nation was meaningless
"A nation for them is just something symbolic with no measures," he said

L’organisateur du party controversé sur un vol de Sunwing sème autant la zizanie en l'air que sur terre

Le Journal s’est rendu au rond-point de la rue place du Coteau
pour observer les six maisons et un terrain boisé appartenant à James William Awad
que le premier ministre Justin Trudeau a qualifié d'«ostrogoth» la semaine dernière
a déboursé 6,3 millions de dollars pour ces acquisitions.
«Personne ici n’a été surpris de voir qu’il a fait les manchettes à l'international avec son vol
Ce n’est que la pointe de l’iceberg de ce qu’il fait
tout le monde a eu une offre d’achat de lui
ajoute que l'arrivée d'Awad a perturbé la quiétude du voisinage: «Cet été
150 personnes au moins sont venues faire le party
Aucun ne respectait les mesures sanitaires
Les policiers sont venus à plusieurs reprises
mais ils ne pouvaient rien faire pour les arrêter.»
Même s’il habite le quartier depuis environ deux ans
une bonne portion de la rue semble déjà lui appartenir
Impossible de ne pas remarquer les nombreuses statues à l’effigie de James William Awad devant ses résidences qui serviront à accueillir ses futurs clients du Private Club 111.
Devant une maison convertie en studio d’enregistrement pour sa musique
Une autre de lui en peignoir se trouve en face d’une résidence transformée en spa
Et signe que ses propriétés sont bien gardées
deux sculptures avec des épées à la main protègent l’entrée principale menant à son château au sommet d’une colline.
«Tout le monde se demande comment il fait son argent
On se sent intimidé avec nos familles pour partir d’ici et parce qu’il veut être le seul propriétaire du coin
qui veut rester anonyme par crainte de représailles
qui ont refusé de s’identifier pour ne pas «avoir de problèmes»
L’organisateur controversé compterait même installer une guérite lorsqu’il possédera toutes les résidences du coin
J’essaie d’acheter les maisons à côté pour ne pas avoir de voisins
Le Journal a aussi appris que des résidents forment désormais un petit comité pour surveiller Awad.
c’est lorsqu’il a mis des plaques menaçant de mort toute personne qui voudrait rentrer sur ses terrains
Les gens se sont plaints à la police parce que les enfants avaient peur
Il les a finalement retirées le mois dernier»
on pouvait y lire en anglais: «Toute intrusion peut entraîner une mort subite.» James William Awad a d’abord dénié l’existence de ces plaques
puis a dit qu’il s’agissait d’une simple blague.

Cette plaque est clairement écrite pour empêcher les gens de rentrer sur le terrain et susciter la crainte

Plusieurs vidéos publiées sur les réseaux sociaux de James William Awad montrent en effet des centaines de personnes réunies dans son boisé à la fin de l’été
Les fêtards font le party sans respecter les règles sanitaires
comme à bord du vol de Sunwing à la fin du mois de décembre.

Il s’en était tiré avec une « absolution inconditionnelle » du juge Gilles Garneau
estimant que la prison serait néfaste « pour lui et pour sa compagnie » de commerces de véhicules usagés
nos recherches ont permis de constater que l’un des centres d’entraînement de James William Awad
est logé dans un bâtiment d’un quartier industriel de Laval appartenant à un certain Giussepe Borsellino
Giussepe Borsellino (ne pas confondre avec ses homonymes de Construction Garnier et du Groupe Petra) est l’ex-patron de B.P
aujourd’hui propriété d’Antonio et Filippo Borsellino
Selon les informations issues de l’enquête antimafia de la GRC (Colisée) ainsi que des témoignages entendus à la commission Charbonneau
Giussepe Borsellino était lié à la mafia italienne montréalaise
Le bâtiment qui comporte plusieurs adresses est situé à l’intersection du boulevard Saint-Elzéar et de l’avenue Francis-Hugues
L’Astrofit Gym loge dans l’une d’entre elles : le 3082
Une visite des lieux montre un local en cours d’aménagement
de miroirs et de quelques modules d’entraînement
l’endroit n’arborait encore toutefois aucune enseigne extérieure.
Nos recherches ont permis de constater qu’en octobre 2020
le local a fait l’objet d’une ordonnance de suspension de travaux
une mesure d’exception de la Commission de la construction du Québec (CCQ).
les cofondateurs d’Astrofit Gym et les propriétaires de l’immeuble de Laval n’avaient pu démontrer à la CCQ que les travaux étaient effectués par une entreprise titulaire d’une licence de la Régie du bâtiment et d’employés munis d’un certificat de compétence
Cette suspension a été levée en septembre 2021
Awad a indiqué au Journal ne pas avoir vérifié « l’historique » des vendeurs ou de ses cocontractants
et qu’il ignorait ces faits lors de ces transactions
les travaux pour le parachèvement de l’autoroute 19 coûteraient finalement 899,4 millions de dollars
L’information est tombée aujourd’hui dans une communication du gouvernement qui confirme la mise en service de ce nouveau tronçon autoroutier urbain pour la fin de l’année 2027
«Notre gouvernement est engagé à aller de l’avant avec ce projet réfléchi dans une perspective de mobilité durable»
Faut-il rappeler qu’un premier chantier a cours depuis l’automne avec la construction d’un échangeur à la hauteur de la rue Saint-Saëns et d’un tronçon autoroutier sur une distance de 1,5 kilomètre en direction nord
qui couvrira les 11,8 kilomètres compris entre les boulevards Saint-Martin Est
Quant à l’avant-projet définitif et aux plans et devis des cinq autres lots à venir
bénéficiant des mesures d’accélération permises dans le cadre de la Loi concernant l’accélération de certains projets d’infrastructure
Le projet comprend plusieurs interventions
dont la construction d’un nouveau pont au-dessus de la rivière des Mille Îles
et de quatre échangeurs aux intersections du boulevard Dagenais Est
des boulevards des Laurentides/des Mille-Îles
ainsi qu’à l’intersection de la route 344 (boulevard Adolphe-Chapleau)
Le réaménagement de l’échangeur à l’intersection des autoroutes 19 et 640 et l’aménagement d’un stationnement incitatif et d’un terminus d’autobus dans le quadrant nord-est de cet échangeur autoroutier font également partie du projet attendu depuis une cinquantaine d’années
Les plans prévoient aussi une piste polyvalente pour les piétons
cyclistes et usagers de véhicules hors route en bordure de l’autoroute urbaine
Une place importante est accordée au transport collectif
notamment par l’ajout de voies réservées pour les autobus
le covoiturage ainsi que les véhicules électriques
on vient ainsi contribuer à contrer le voiturage en solo
C’est l’ensemble des usagers du transport collectif et des automobilistes qui y gagneront»
Ce dernier réfère à la mise en place d’un système de gestion dynamique de la circulation qui permettra de gérer l’utilisation de ces voies réservées afin d’en maximiser l’efficacité
L’actuelle route 335 s’en trouvera élargie à trois voies par direction
malgré que le coût du projet soit en hausse de quelque 350 M$
la contribution de 260,4 M$ annoncée par Ottawa en 2019 n’a pas été ajustée
