Côte-Vertu Boulevard


Côte-Vertu Boulevard is a boulevard in the Saint-Laurent borough in Montreal, Quebec. It crosses the borough from north-east to south-west of the Air Canada Technical Center to the west of the Chomedey Highway Autoroute 13 to the Laurentian Autoroute 15 where it takes the name of Sauvé Street. The section inside the city of Dorval has remained under the name Côte-Vertu Road.
Côte-Vertu station, the western terminus station of the Montreal Metro's Orange Line is located at the corner of Côte-Vertu Boulevard and Décarie Boulevard. Nearby is the Terminus Côte-Vertu for various bus lines of the Société de transport de Montréal also located on Côte-Vertu Boulevard.

Origin of the name

Similar to the naming of Côte-de-Liesse Road, the name evokes a pilgrimage site in France dedicated to Notre-Dame. The Sulpicians would name various locales of the Island of Montreal in honor of the Blessed Virgin for whom they have great devotion.
