Langelier (Montreal Metro)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Langelier is a station on the Green Line of the Montreal Metro in Montreal, Québec, Canada. It is in the district of Mercier in the borough of Mercier/Hochelaga-Maisonneuve. It was inaugurated on June 6, 1976, as part of the extension of the Green Line to Honoré-Beaugrand.
Designed by Victor Prus and André G. Dionne, it is a normal side-platform station built in tunnel. The central mezzanine, built within the tunnel vault, gives access to three entrances on three corners of an intersection. On the platforms, sculptural grilles by Charles Daudelin conceal ventilation intakes.
