Pierrefonds Boulevard

Pierrefonds Boulevard is an east-west boulevard in the northwest of the Island of Montreal, or the northern part of West Island. It runs mostly through the borough of Pierrefonds-Roxboro.

History

Pierrefonds Boulevard has a total length of 9.3 km and is an important commercial street in the west of the island, known locally as West Island. It is named in honor of Pierrefonds in France, whose notary, Joseph-Adolphe Chauret, was impressed by the Château located in the city of the same name in France. The boulevard is also served by the STM 's buses, mainly via the circuits 68 (via circuit 64) and 470 which connect the borough to the Côte-Vertu Terminus station, which is part of the orange line of the Montreal Metro. Much of the boulevard was affected during the 2017 Quebec floods.[1][2][3]
