Future Extensions
In June 2008 the City of Montreal proposed a number of service improvements and Metro extensions, including projecting Line 4 from Berri-UQAM to McGill station to ease congestion on that part of the green line. In December 2011, an extension to Longueuil was announced.
The Agence métropolitaine de transport published a study, Vision 2020 in December 2011. According to this study, there are plans for the Yellow line to be extended further into the city Longueuil along Roland-Therrien Boulevard. The six new stations would connect residential areas, shopping centers and several schools.
The six proposed stations are at the following intersections:
- Saint-Charles/Joliette
- Saint-Charles/Saint-Sylvestre
- Gentilly/Chambly
- Gentilly/Roland-Therrien
- Curé-Poirier/Roland-Therrien
- Jacques-Cartier/Roland-Therrien

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or extensions:
“I want the necessity of supplying my own wants. All this costly culture of yours is not necessary. Greatness does not need it. Yonder peasant, who sits neglected, carries a whole revolution of man and nature in his head, which shall be a sacred history to some future ages.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The psychological umbilical cord is more difficult to cut than the real one. We experience our children as extensions of ourselves, and we feel as though their behavior is an expression of something within us...instead of an expression of something in them. We see in our children our own reflection, and when we don’t like what we see, we feel angry at the reflection.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
