PHASE 3 will begin at the VSR and make its way down Drummond Street similar to PHASE 1. However, at Rene-Levesque, the branch will head west along the north side of Rene-Levesque up to Peel. On the west sidewalk of Peel, the branch will move north – passing in front of the old Windsor Hotel (where the NHL was born) up to Sherbrooke.
