@jfmezei@cosocial.ca The way I understand it, it will be west of the current exo station.
And there is no urban setting in that area. It’s a Hydro-Québec crated wasteland

@EdwinG@mstdn.moimeme.ca The Hydro Québec substation is rather critical for the area. There is a big building from which aeroplanes take off and land that gets fed (partly) by the Dorval substation. And it isn't easy to move due to where highway, tracks and airport are located. Right now, the VIa and EXO stations have direct access to the Dorval circle. If VIA forces STM away from it, it wrecks a whole lot of bus lines and ceases to make sense of it. A new station west of existing one needs its on tunnel.
