Lacordaire Boulevard (French: Boulevard Lacordaire) is a north-south thoroughfare in Montreal.
This large north-south artery of the eastern part of the Island of Montreal is designated as a boulevard north of Saint-Zotique Street in the Saint-Léonard and Montréal-Nord boroughs, while between Saint-Zotique Street and Rosemont Boulevard, it is known as "Rue Lacordaire" (Lacordaire Street) in the borough of Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve. South of Rosemont Boulevard, its extension is Dickson Street. However, another more residential section of the boulevard resumes starting at Pierre-Bédard Street up until its end south of the junction at Souligny Street, and it goes by the name "Rue Lacordaire".
Exit 77 of Quebec Autoroute 40 leads to Lacordaire Boulevard. [2] Bus route 32 of the Société de transport de Montréal provides local service, while bus route 432 provides an express service beginning in Montreal-North and connecting with Cadillac Métro station; route 353 provides night service.
The Exo commuter train station Gare Saint-Léonard–Montréal-Nord is located on the boulevard.
The Blue Line extension eastward will feature a new unnamed station at the intersection of Jean-Talon street and Lacordaire boulevard. It is set to open in 2029.
The boulevard gets its name from Jean-Baptiste Henri Lacordaire (1802-1861), a French preacher who was known for re-establishing the Dominican Order in France following the French Revolution. [3]
The boulevard opened in 1911, but it was expanded only in the 1960s north of Saint-Zotique Street to keep up with the demographic growth of the island. Rue Lacordaire was first designated in 1911, [4] and Boulevard Lacordaire got its designation in 1963. [5]
