Préfontaine is a station on the Green Line of the Montreal Metro in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is in the district of Hochelaga-Maisonneuve 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 Henri Brillon, it is a normal side-platform station, built partly in tunnel with a large open cut containing an entrance, the mezzanine and admitting natural light. A secondary entrance is located to the north of rue Hochelaga.
[edit] Origin of the name
The station is named for rue Préfontaine and the parc Raymond-Préfontaine. Raymond Préfontaine (1850–1905) was mayor of the former city of Hochelaga, and subsequently mayor of Montreal (1898–1902).
