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 am not naturally ... “A bag of wind”; yet ... I mean deliberately and decidedly “to cut” in future all my old ideas on this head. I don’t think modesty “pays.” It is a good quality in a family, it is a domestic virtue, it makes a home happy after you have got a home, but it is not potent in getting homes. It is not a money-maker, neither is it lucky in gaining a reputation. I am of the impression that gaseous bodies do better.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“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)
