Condo construction could affect train entrance

AMT F40PH 271 2

The main walkway to an AMT train station will soon become a condo construction zone.

According to the Gazette, the new Tour des Canadiens will be built on the walkway that is the main entrance to the Lucien L'Allier train station. The site is now known as Centennial Plaza located next door to the Bell Centre.

The AMT is in discussions with the Ville-MArie borough to ensure safe access to the station for commuters during construction. Work on the 48-storey tower is set to begin in early 2013 and continue for more than two years.

11 000 commuters use the Lucien L'Allier entrance daily.
