De La Savane station is a Montreal Metro station in the borough of Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.[3] It is operated by the Société de transport de Montréal (STM) and serves the Orange Line. It is located in the Côte-des-Neiges area and opened on January 9, 1984.

Overview[]

Station platform wall artwork

The station is a normal side platform station with an entrance at the north end. It was planned in such a way as to allow an additional entrance to be built on the other side of the Décarie Autoroute, but this has not yet happened. As it is the station with the fewest passengers (as of 2002), a redevelopment plan for the area is under discussion.

The station was designed by Guy de Varennes and Almas Mathieu. Its artworks include mural treatments in the entrance, mezzanine, and platforms by the architects, as well as a large metal sculpture by , entitled Calcite, affixed to the wall of the mezzanine and illuminated by a light shaft.

Origin of the name[]

This station is named for the nearby rue de la Savane, a connector street between the Decarie expressway and Jean Talon Street.
