 | This article relies largely or entirely on a single source. (June 2017) |
Des Sources Boulevard is a north-south artery located in the west of the island of Montreal, informally known as West Island.
The boulevard crosses the island completely from a north to south. It starts south at the intersection of Chemin du Bord-du-Lac and intersects Highway 20 at Exit 53. It then intersects Highway 40 at Exit 55. Thereafter, it crosses the city of Dollard-des-Ormeaux and reaches Pierrefonds Boulevard and Gouin Boulevard in the north. It ends on Debours Street in a newly built residential area.
History
Des Sources goes back all the way to the 1700s and it facilitated the movement from one concession to the other.[1], thus its former name “montée des Sources”. It was designated a boulevard only in 1961.
