Henri Bourassa Boulevard ((フランス語:Boulevard Henri-Bourassa)) is a major east-west street located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Situated in northern Montreal Island, it runs parallel to Gouin Boulevard. Spanning 29 kilometres in length, it links the borough of Rivière-des-Prairies–Pointe-aux-Trembles in the east to Autoroute 13 in the West Island. It was enlarged in steps beginning in 1954, following expropriations, but also a new segment. == History == The street is renamed after Henri Bourassa (1868–1952), a Quebec nationalist politician, and founder of the Montreal newspaper ''Le Devoir''. Part of what became the boulevard—two segments between Meilleur Street and Lajeunesse—was originally named Kelly Street by the Irish farmers who lived alongside it,〔In summer 2011, Ahuntsic celebrated its 100th anniversary as a part of Montreal, and pictures from the 1930s listed the boulevard as being 'Kelly Street'〕 Further east, the boulevard was built on what was a private right of way owned and operated as a tramway line by the Montreal Park and Island Railway Company, a predecessor of today's STM.〔http://services.banq.qc.ca/sdx/cep/document.xsp?id=0000066825〕 Further west, the boulevard was built from Bois Franc Road. Henri-Bourassa metro station is located on Henri Bourassa Boulevard. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Henri Bourassa Boulevard」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
