It could promote the implementation of a transit-oriented development (TOD).[5] However, the station is being built in the parking lot of the eponymous Fairview Pointe-Claire shopping mall where there very little nearby residential housing, at a time of critical housing shortage.[6] A TOD maximizes the amount of space within walking distance of public transport.[7][8] It promotes sustainable urbanization[9] by reducing the use of private cars.[10]

Cadillac Fairview is proposing to replace 900 parking spots with hundreds of residential units, a seniors' home, and open public areas.[6] As of the second quarter of 2022 the project has been "frozen" by Pointe-Claire city council.[6] The mayor, elected in the 2021 Quebec municipal elections, campaigned on a platform of opposing development.[11]

Terminus Fairview–Pointe-Claire

edit

The station has an adjoining ARTM bus terminal called Terminus Fairview–Pointe-Claire, with 16 platforms.[12] It replaces an older bus station called Terminus Fairview north of the shopping centre.[13]
