[1] When the REM was initially proposed in April 2016, two "potential station locations" south of Gare Centrale were listed as Bridge-Wellington and Du Havre.

[6] In November 2019, Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante first expressed a desire to name the station after the late Premier of Quebec, Bernard Landry, due to his involvement as Quebec's Minister of Finance, in the redevelopment of the area adjacent to Griffintown and the western portion of Old Montreal as the Cité du Multimédia, a business cluster for Information Technology companies.

[9][11] In an interview with the Montreal Gazette, a spokesperson for the REM explained that a "study analyzing the best way to build the station is nearly done and will be made public by the end of [2023].

[14] In August 2024, La Presse reported that CDPQ Infra refused to confirm that the station would be completed by 2027, but that construction could take place while the REM is in operation.

[15] CDPQ Infra also noted that an additional station (Bridge-Bonaventure, which would be located south of the Lachine Canal) was technically feasible.
