Although the map showing the precise locations is vague, what can be determined is that a Metro station would most likely be built in or near the small park at the corner of Girouard and Cote St. Luc, another one at the southwest corner of Benny Park at the corner of Cavendish and Monkland, another just east of the existing Elmhurst bus depot (where an empty lot already belongs to the city), and the final station being somewhere vaguely in the vicinity of Lafleur and Elmslie (perhaps a station in LaSalle park would be more logical!).

In any event, all later editions of this book no longer show these extensions, with the latest proposals post 2010 being the eastward extension from the St. Michel Metro to the Galeries d'Anjou district.

Politics has definitely played a part in the constant delays in running the Metro west of Snowdon. There was also talk of extending a line to Dorval Airport (shades of Heathrow?) but, of course, nothing ever came of that--as does the ongoing endless debate about running a direct rail link to the airport, ad nauseum.

The worst irony of all is that city counselor Marvin Rotrand, himself a west end resident and responsible for municipal transport issues, constantly plays down any hope of such west end Metro extensions. Go figure!

Just whose side is he on, anyway?! "Ugly Anglos", eh? Look in the mirror, Marvin!

Wasn't there a post on Spacing Montreal about this, though? Something related maybe?

Watch out if it is... people have died because of such discovery, like Emir Kusturica that, after the screening of his movie "underground", disappeared for several week and was later found screaming down the streets of a small village in south america, with infected stitches all around his head, as if part of his brain has been removed.

I wonder what the cost of building a fresh tunnel to Dorval would be compared to retrofitting this one?

Another good one.
