Du Ruisseau (French: [dy ʁɥiso]; Canadian French: [d͡zy ʁɥiso]) is a Réseau express métropolitain (REM) station in Montreal, Quebec, Canada that opened for REM service on 17 November 2025.[7] It replaced a commuter rail station by the same name, operated by Exo on the Deux-Montagnes line until May 2020.
Origin of name
Du Ruisseau takes its name from nearby Boulevard Du Ruisseau, named for a stream (ruisseau) that formerly flowed through the area.[8]
Prior to the modernization of the Deux-Montagnes Line, between 1993 and 1995, this area was served by the now defunct Monkland station, located some 700 metres (2,300 ft) further west at the O'Brien Avenue level crossing.
Location
The station is located at 3555 Henri-Bourassa Boulevard West, between Jules-Poitras Boulevard and Dutrisac Street, just west of Autoroute 15 exit # 3 in Saint-Laurent on the border with Cartierville. It is located about one kilometre from the Bois-de-Boulogne station on the Saint-Jérôme line.
Facilities
The station is built at grade, and features two enclosed side platforms along the tracks, with platform screen doors. Each platform features an entrance ticket hall located below platform level, at the west end on the south (inbound) platform and at the east end on the north (outbound) platform. The centre of the platforms are connected by a cross-under.
The station is equipped with elevators between the entrances and the platforms, and between the platforms and the cross-under.
The south entrance opens onto a plaza on the north side of Henri-Bourassa Boulevard, while the north entrance leads to an extensive park-and-ride lot between the boulevard and the expressway.
To improve circulation between the nearby neighbourhoods that are separated by the multiple transportation corridors, the station project included the construction of a pedestrian and cyclist underpass underneath the tracks just west of the station.
