Plamondon is a station on Orange Line of the Montreal Metro rapid transit system, operated by the Société de transport de Montréal (STM). It is located in the Côte-des-Neiges section of the borough of Côte-des-Neiges/Notre-Dame-de-Grâce in Montreal, Quebec, Canada ^[2].

It was inaugurated on June 29, 1982; it served as the western terminus of the Orange Line, replacing Côte-Sainte-Catherine station, until the extension to Du Collège was completed in 1984.

[edit] Overview

The station is a normal side platform station with an entrance at either end. The northern entrance is integrated into a social housing project.

[edit] Origin of the name

This station is named for av. Plamondon, so named by Montreal city council in 1911 without a stated reason. It may be named for Quebec painter Antoine Plamondon (1804–1895) or singer Rodolphe Plamondon [1] (1875–1940).
