Sainte-Dorothée is a future Réseau express métropolitain (REM) station, expected to open in October 2025. It is located in Laval, Quebec, Canada.

Until May 2020, the station was a commuter rail station operated by Exo on the Deux-Montagnes line.

Origin of name

[edit]

Sainte-Dorothée takes its name from the Sainte-Dorothée district of Laval, Quebec.

Between 1993 and 1995, prior to the modernization of the Deux-Montagnes Line, there were three stations served now by Sainte-Dorothée, from north to south: Laval-sur-le-Lac, Laval-Links, and Sainte-Dorothée. There were also plans to amalgamate Île-Bigras into this station as well, but plans were shelved after an outcry from residents of Île-Bigras.

Location

[edit]

The station is located at 1411 chemin du Bord-de-l'Eau at rue Gobeil, in Laval. It is easily accessible from Autoroute 440 which, west of Autoroute 13, becomes Avenue des Bois.

Future projects

[edit]

Upon completion of the Réseau express métropolitain, this station is expected to be upgraded to rapid transit standards and integrated into the new network.
