Source-derived summary

Côte-de-Liesse (French pronunciation: [kotdəljɛs]) is an interchange station in the Saint-Laurent borough of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is operated by CDPQ Infra and serves the Réseau express métropolitain (REM) system. It is also the terminus of Exo's Mascouche line. The station was known as Correspondance A-40 during development, named after the nearby Quebec Autoroute 40, and has been renamed after Chemin de la Côte-de-Liesse, the service road accessing Quebec Autoroute 40.

The REM station opened on November 17, 2025. The Mascouche line platform came into service on January 12, 2026.

Facilities

The station is built at ground level along the main trunk of the REM line. It has two island platforms. The eastern island serves northbound REM trains on its west face (platform 1); on its east face, outside the station building, is the single high-level platform for the Mascouche line, with doors into the building at either end of the platform. The western island serves southbound REM trains on its east face (platform 2), while its west face (platform 3) is an auxiliary platform where trains can wait to provide additional service when needed, similar to the arrangement at Brossard station.

Editorial reviewA valuable geographic starting point for tracing changing names, boundaries, uses and administrative responsibility.

The account is most persuasive where Côte-de-Liesse, station and intermodal can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as intermodal station in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 17, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q30668376. Authority coordinates are 45.522, -73.662. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2025 and 2026.

Critical limits

A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Treat names, boundaries and functions as historically changeable. Maps, plans, inventories and administrative records can clarify what the place meant at different dates.
