Montreal métro: Green light for Blue Line extension

The long-awaited extension to the Montreal métro’s Blue Line will go ahead, Quebec and Ottawa announced Monday.
The Quebec government had announced it was finally serious about building the Blue Line in its last budget in late March, putting a dollar figure for the first time on the long-standing pledge. It estimated at the time that extending the métro line for 5.8 kilometres and five stops into the east-end boroughs of St-Léonard and Anjou will cost $3.9 billion. Of
