Here's a render for a future intermodal station at Dorval AMT/VIA station near the airport:

Thats pretty bad ass. Its about time that Dorval is integrated into the Metro (Albeit by LRT). Its been too long that Montreal has had a good metro but no Airport connection. And that intermodal station is very reminiscent of Disney or a World Fair. However, considering that the costs of running shorter lines of LRT are upwards of billions, 50KM of line would be astronomical and cause for concern.
