The Pink Line, reborn? Having it travel through inhabited parts of the East and be entirely underground seems like the right approach. It doesn’t seem to go as far into Rosemont as the Pink Line plans though, at least going by the map.
Perhaps it’s my flawed memory but I recall the pink line being more North and west (eg new metro stations near Parc/Mt Royal, whereas this doesn’t seem to go farther west than St Denis).
You’re right, Joey, the original proposal for the Pink Line had it going up Park, over to St-Laurent/Rachel and then to Mont-Royal station before heading east. It looks like this new proposal would skip the western Plateau by intersecting at Sherbrooke station instead.

It sure looks a lot like the Pink Line to me. Which makes sense because the Pink Line was a fantastic idea…

I’ve pondered this and I wonder if there’s any hope of putting so much of it underground.
