Gérald Tremblay said yesterday road safety is one of many priorities he wants to work on in his next mandate, as he officially confirmed he will seek re-election in 2009. "There is so much to do that I need at least another mandate," Tremblay said to polite applause from the gathered crowd. The mayor made the announcement one year to the day before the next election before 200 party faithful at the Union Montreal party's annual convention at the Delta Montreal hotel downtown.
Thursday Jan 3, 2008 A year of challenges for Mayor Tremblay
Politically, the new year looks splendidly smooth for Mayor Gérald Tremblay's Union Montréal administration.
....The hottest controversy in Tremblay's six years of power was his attempt to change the name of Park Ave. a year ago. The ease with which the Union Montréal candidate trotted to victory in last month's by-election in Outremont - located a block from that artery - suggests that it if the furor isn't already completely forgotten, it will by the time of the city's 2009 election.
