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].

The station opened 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.

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. The station decor is divided in two to reflect the two entrances, with blue panels to the north and reddish-pink to the south.

The station was designed by Patrice Gauthier.

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).
