globalnews.caI don’t have live tool access right now to pull the very latest updates, but I can share the most recent widespread context about Côte-Vertu based on available public information up to recently.
Core answer:
- Côte-Vertu refers to a Montreal metro station on the Orange Line and the nearby Côte-Vertu garage project, a major STM (Société de transport de Montréal) initiative to add a underground storage and handling capacity for additional trains.
Context and latest-known developments (summary):
- Côte-Vertu garage project: This is a long-running STM project announced in the 2010s to build an underground garage to house additional metro cars (ten cars) and supporting facilities, with the goal of increasing capacity on the Orange Line and improving service during peak periods. The project has involved station work and associated roadworks in the Côte-Vertu area.[2]
- Station closures during construction: Over the years, Côte-Vertu station has experienced closures or partial closures to allow heavy construction work, such as installation of track switches and related infrastructure necessary for the garage integration. There have been reported closures and reopenings linked to such works in 2019–2021 timeframes.[3][2]
- Impact on service: The intended outcome of the Côte-Vertu garage project is to increase peak-period train frequency on the Orange Line and to provide operational flexibility as the system expands and evolves, including support for future network changes like line extensions or linkages to other transit developments.[2]
