Île-des-Sœurs
Île-des-Sœurs station underwent unique architectural treatment due to its proximity to the Samuel De Champlain Bridge. It was designed with a public square to facilitate access to the station and integrate harmoniously into its environment. The underground walkway beneath the station will also make it easier to connect the northern and southern areas of the island.
