Future Extensions
The Agence métropolitaine de transport (AMT), published a study, Vision 2020 in December 2011. According to this study, the Blue line will be extended northeast of Saint-Michel to Anjou. There are a total of five planned new stations;. The terminus would be located at the shopping center Galeries d'Anjou, near the junction of Autoroute 25 and Autoroute 40.
Another proposed expansion involved extending the blue line southwest from Snowdon. This extension would serve Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, Côte-Saint-Luc and Montreal West. This Metro extension has been put on hold indefinitely.
The Édouard-Montpetit station is located near the northern entrance of the Mount Royal Tunnel. Plans to link the station to the AMT's Blainville–Saint-Jérôme line were not pursued because the height difference between the two levels is 50 meters.
The following are some of the proposed stations
East:
- Pie-IX
- Viau
- Lacordaire
- Langelier
- Anjou
West:
- Nôtre-Dame-de-Grâce
- Cavendish
- Montreal-West

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or extensions:
“I would sell my life to avoid
the pain that begins in the crib
with its bars or perhaps
with your first breath
when the planets drill
your future into you....”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“If we focus exclusively on teaching our children to read, write, spell, and count in their first years of life, we turn our homes into extensions of school and turn bringing up a child into an exercise in curriculum development. We should be parents first and teachers of academic skills second.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
