Cartier station is a Montreal Metro station in Laval, Quebec, Canada. It is operated by the Société de transport de Montréal (STM) and serves the Orange Line. Located in the Pont-Viau district,[2] it is part of an extension into Laval, and opened on April 28, 2007.

Architecture

It is a normal side platform station. The station's main entrance, adjoining the bus terminal, takes the form of a right triangle, with the legs parallel to the streets and the hypotenuse parallel to the tracks, thereby bringing the aboveground and underground world into relation. There is an entrance at each of the two points of the triangle, while the centre is sunken to provide access to the escalators to the ticket hall and to the tunnel to the secondary entrance. The sunken area looks out onto a sunken garden.

A second entrance on the opposite corner of Boul. des Laurentides and Boul. Cartier, to spare pedestrians from crossing the busy boulevard, was opened on May 22, 2009.[3]

The station features two artworks. The first, L'Homme est un roseau pensant III by Jacek Jarnuszkiewicz, is a pair of tall, slender metal spires on the edge of the garden. The second, Dessins suspendus by Yvon Proulx, is installed in the secondary entrance.

Origin of name

The station is named for nearby Boulevard Cartier, which in turn was named for George-Étienne Cartier, a French-Canadian statesman and Father of Confederation.
