Origin of name
editSainte-Dorothée takes its name from the Sainte-Dorothée district of Laval, Quebec.
Between 1993 and 1995, prior to the modernization of the Deux-Montagnes Line, there were three stations served now by Sainte-Dorothée, from north to south: Laval-sur-le-Lac, Laval-Links, and Sainte-Dorothée. There were plans to amalgamate Île-Bigras into this station as well, but plans were shelved after an outcry from residents of Île-Bigras.
Location
editThe station is located at 1411 chemin du Bord-de-l'Eau at rue Gobeil, in Laval. It is easily accessible from Autoroute 440 which, west of Autoroute 13, becomes Avenue des Bois.
Future projects
editUpon completion of the Réseau express métropolitain, this station is expected to be upgraded to rapid transit standards and integrated into the new network.
