Orange metro line extension to Bois-Franc REM station closer to reality
As construction on the future Réseau express métropolitain station at Bois-Franc continues, there are plans behind the scenes to build a transit link between the Côte-Vertu metro station and Bois-Franc.
The borough mayor of Saint-Laurent says the obvious solution is to extend Montreal’s orange metro line from Côte-Vertu to Bois-Franc, an argument Alan DeSousa has been making for years. A tunnel stretching one kilometre has already been dug from the Côte-Vertu metro station toward the future Bois-Franc REM station. Only 1.2 kilometres remains to finish the connection.Story continues below advertisement
DeSousa says up to 15,000 new units are expected within the next few years and turning Bois-Franc into a transit hub makes sense as the area develops.
