[edit] Origin of name
Édouard-Montpetit metro station takes its name from the street on which it lies: Édouard-Montpetit Boulevard.
The boulevard, in turn, takes its name from Édouard Montpetit (1881–1954), a Quebec lawyer, economist and academic, whose history was closely linked with nearby Université de Montréal.
[edit] Particularities
Édouard-Montpetit metro station was designed to be able to provide a connection with the Agence métropolitaine de transport's Montreal—Deux Montagnes commuter rail line. If such a connection were implemented, high-speed escalators would run from the metro station to the train station in the Mount Royal Tunnel, 50 metres below.
