Montmorency station (French pronunciation: [mɔ̃mɔʁɑ̃si] ⓘ) is a Montreal Metro station in Laval, Quebec, Canada, operated by the Société de transport de Montréal (STM). It is located in the Laval-des-Rapides borough.[4] The station is part of an extension to Laval and opened on April 28, 2007, becoming the northern terminus of the Orange Line. After two years of opening, the Metro had generated an extra 60,000 daily passengers, around twice as originally estimated.[5]
Overview
[edit]
It is a normal side platform station. This station has the highest ceilings of any station in the network. The wall panels are decorated with tiling in diagonal stripes of retro shades of cyan, navy, straw yellow and brick red.
The station is equipped with the MétroVision information screens which displays news, commercials, and the waiting time until the arrival of the next train.
This station has underground city access to the Université de Montréal’s Laval campus.
Origin of name
[edit]The station is located across the street from Cégep Montmorency. The CEGEP got its name from François de Montmorency-Laval (1623–1703), the first bishop of Quebec and New France from 1674 to 1688.
