Jolicoeur (French pronunciation: [ʒɔlikœʁ]) is a station on the Green Line of the Montreal Metro rapid transit system operated by the Société de transport de Montréal (STM). It is located in the Côte-Saint-Paul district in the borough of Le Sud-Ouest in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.[4] The station opened on September 3, 1978, as part of the extension of the Green Line westward to Angrignon.
Art and architecture
[edit]Designed by Claude Boucher, it is a side platform station, built in a shallow open cut, with the ticket hall integrated into a large glass-walled entrance pavilion. The design was influenced by the International Style architecture of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.[5] The floor of the platform level is decorated with a series of 42 circular ceramics by the architect.[6]
Renovation and upgrade works
[edit]In October 2019, work began to make the station universally accessible.[7] To allow for the installation of elevators, the entrance building was expanded on both sides.[7] As part of the project, a sculpture by Chloé Desjardins entitled Perspectives was installed on the main floor overlooking the platforms in June 2022.[5] The work is inspired by the preexisting circular and triangular ceramics in the station.[5] The upgrades were completed in December 2022, making Jolicoeur the 25th accessible station of the Metro, and the 6th station to be made accessible in 2022.[8]
Origin of the name
[edit]This station is named for rue Jolicoeur. Father Jean-Moïse Jolicoeur founded the parish of Notre-Dame-du-Perpétuel-Secours in 1906; the street was renamed in his honour in 1914.
Connecting bus routes
[edit]There are no bus bays here and Société de transport de Montréal and RTM Roussillon (CITROUS) buses serve the station from curbside bus stops on Drake Street and Jolicoeur Street.
