Atwater (Montreal Metro)

Atwater is a station on the Green Line of the Montreal Metro, located on the border between the boroughs of Westmount and Ville-Marie.

It was inaugurated on October 14, 1966, as part of the original network of the metro; it was the western terminus of the Green Line until the extension to Angrignon in 1978.

Designed by David, Boulva & Cleve, it is a normal side-platform station, built in open cut under the boul. de Maisonneuve. It has a large mezzanine with ticket barriers on either end; it has one direct exit, as well as underground city connections to the Plaza Alexis-Nihon, Westmount Square, and Dawson College. There is also a secondary entrance to the bus terminal in square Cabot, accessed via Plaza Alexis-Nihon.

Origin of the name

This station is named for av. Atwater, named for Edwin Atwater (1808–1874), a municipal alderman of the district of Saint-Antoine. The street was named for him in 1871.
