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 have often inquired of myself, what great principle or idea it was that kept this Confederacy so long together. It was not the mere matter of the separation of the colonies from the mother land; but something in that Declaration giving liberty, not alone to the people of this country, but hope to the world for all future time. It was that which gave promise that in due time the weights should be lifted from the shoulders of all men, and that all should have an equal chance.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“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)
