Sainte-Dorothée is a commuter rail station on the AMT Deux-Montagnes Line in the Greater Montreal, Quebec, Canada area.

Origin of name

Sainte-Dorothée takes its name from the Sainte-Dorothée district of Laval, Quebec.

Between 1993 and 1995, prior to the modernization of the Deux-Montagnes Line, there were three stations served now by Sainte-Dorothée, from north to south: Laval-sur-le-Lac, Laval-Links, and Sainte-Dorothée. There were plans to amalgamate Île-Bigras into this station as well, but plans were shelved after an outcry from residents of Île-Bigras.

Location

The station is located at 1411 chemin du Bord-de-l'Eau at rue Gobeil, in Laval. It is easily accessible from Autoroute 440 which, west of Autoroute 13, becomes Avenue des Bois.

When the Metro extended into Laval, the STL 44 Samson, the T06 Les Jardins du Cardinal -- Taxi & the STL 72 Sainte-Rose were eliminated while the STL 144 Bord de l'eau no longer terminates at Sainte Dorothée train station.[2][4] The AMT website still shows the STL 144 and omits the STL 26 in error.[1] The STL route 804 was a pilot project. It is longer listed on the STL official website.[4]
