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:
“For a parent, it’s hard to recognize the significance of your work when you’re immersed in the mundane details. Few of us, as we run the bath water or spread the peanut butter on the bread, proclaim proudly, “I’m making my contribution to the future of the planet.” But with the exception of global hunger, few jobs in the world of paychecks and promotions compare in significance to the job of parent.”
—Joyce Maynard (20th century)
“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)
