Angrignon (Metro Montreal)
Angrignon is a subway station in Montreal . It is located in the Arrondissement of Le Sud-Ouest on Boulevard Angrignon and on the northern edge of Parc Angrignon . It is the southern terminus of the green line 1 . In 2006, 4,520,864 passengers used the station, which corresponds to 16th place among a total of 68 stations on Metro Montreal . The neighboring bus station generates a large part of the traffic volume .
Building
The station designed by Jean-Louis Beaulieu was built using an open construction method . A large part lies above ground in a cut, but is enclosed by tubes made of glass and concrete and is thus protected from climatic influences like the rest of the metro network. Daylight penetrates practically unhindered into the entire station and the neighboring park gives the facility a natural impression. The spacious entrance pavilion above the tracks has a roof made up of numerous semi-cylindrical, transparent plexiglass domes. The curved red frame contrasts strongly with the green of the park.
The platform level with two side platforms is at a depth of 4.3 meters . The distance to the neighboring Monk station, measured from the end of the station to the start of the station, is 844.29 meters. Immediately next to the station is a bus station, the Terminus Angrignon operated by the Agence métropolitaine de transport (AMT) . Ten bus routes and one night bus operated by the Société de transport de Montréal operate from there . There are also eleven lines of the CIT du Sud-Ouest as well as one line each of the CIT Roussillon and the CIT du Haut-Saint-Laurent, with which various communities in the Rive-Sud region are developed. The AMT also maintains a park-and-ride facility with 733 parking spaces.
history
The opening of the station and the southernmost section of the green line took place on September 3, 1978, together with the section from Atwater . It is named after the Boulevard Angrignon. This in turn is named after Jean-Baptiste Arthur Angrignon (1875–1948), who, as a city councilor of Montreal, made a significant contribution to the development of the surrounding district.
