In my opinion, all the trees will be down, because it will be very heavy works, the roots will not endure the passage of bulldozers, tractors etc.
It was one of my favorite place, very typic, with trees, grass, traditional snack, and the smell of fir resin during the night...
I fear this area becomes like Esses de la Forêt, a sterile place without nature and just with a plastic grandstand
Please, i don't want to loose this landscape

Thanks for this update, Michel. Please post any other information you see about this. Like many others I really value this particular viewing point and would hate to see it destroyed. A grandstand of some sort at the corner could solve the problem, unless you have to pay for it...
On the positive side, the roundabout (which is maybe considered important for saftey or traffic management reasons) is not affecting the actual track.
