Radisson station is a Montreal Metro station in the borough of Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is operated by the Société de transport de Montréal (STM) and serves the Green Line. It is in the district of Saint-Jean-de-Dieu. It opened on June 6, 1976, as part of the extension of the Green Line to Honoré-Beaugrand station.




Overview


Designed by Papineau, Gérin-Lajoie, Le Blanc, Edwards, it is a normal side platform station built partly in tunnel, with a very tall, vaulted volume over the eastern part of the platform. This contains the transept and a tall escalator shaft rising unsupported to the ticket hall above. The latter gives access to three entrances. The station serves a metropolitan bus terminus and a park and ride lot.
In 2022, the STM's Universal Accessibility Report noted that preliminary design work to make the station accessible was underway.




Origin of the name


The station is named for rue Radisson. Pierre-Esprit Radisson (c. 1640–1710) was a French explorer who was instrumental in the development of the Hudson's Bay Company.

Terminus Radisson



The adjoining bus terminus, located on the west side of Sherbrooke Street, is owned and operated by the Réseau de transport métropolitain, with all bus traffic entering and leaving through the rear at Faradon Street. Several regional MRC de L'Assomption and MRC Les Moulins routes of the CRT Lanaudière use the terminus, as well as Société de transport de Laval and Réseau de transport de Longueuil buses, and local services provided by Société de transport de Montréal. It is the only terminus where STL and RTL bus routes meet.
On December 13, 2021, as part of mitigation measures related to major repairs of the nearby Louis-Hippolyte Lafontaine Bridge–Tunnel undertaken by the Quebec government, three new Exo buses as well as one new RTL bus connecting the bus terminus to the south shore were added. The announcement was made by Transport Minister and Minister Responsible for the Montreal Region, Chantal Rouleau, and Justice Minister, Attorney General, and Minister Responsible for the Montérégie region, Simon Jolin-Barrette. New bus quays would be added to the terminus as well. The new buses connect Montreal to Boucherville, Varennes, Sainte-Julie and Beloeil. The Exo buses to the South Shore operate on weekdays and holidays only, with reduced service being offered on holidays.
