One of Montreal's oldest Metro stations will undergo a facelift and become universally accessible.

The entrance to Mont-Royal Metro will be torn down in 2018 and replaced with a new glass entrance by 2020. An elevator will also be installed to provide universal access to all transit users.

The new entrance will also have a new roof and have artwork on display.

Residents of the Plateau–Mont-Royal will still be able to access the metro station during the construction work.

Borough council unanimously adopted the resolution on Monday evening.

The costs of the project still need to be calculated.
