Robert-Bourassa Boulevard (previously named "''University Street''") is a major north-south artery located in downtown Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It links Sherbrooke Street in the north and Notre-Dame Street in the south. The street runs from the foot of Quebec Autoroute 10 to Sherbrooke Street. There are several notable buildings located on the southern portion of the street, including Place Ville Marie, Place Bonaventure, Telus Tower and the world headquarters of the ICAO. At its southern end, the street forms the western boundary of the Quartier international de Montréal, with a colonnade of pillars encasing a stylized representation of the flags of the world.〔(Quartier international Web site )〕 ==University Street== University street was named and inaugurated on November 30, 1842. The major part of this street, linking Dorchester (later renamed René Lévesque Boulevard) and Sherbrooke Street, was ceded by the descendants of Sir Thomas Phillips, a merchant, and an entrepreneur in construction, who became a city councillor in the 1840s. At the time, University ended at Sherbrooke Street, where a little path continued to McGill University, the institution from which the street got its name. It was eventually extended from Sherbrooke street to just past Pine Avenue, where it reaches the base of Mount Royal and up alongside the former Royal Victoria Hospital. McGill University has many of its buildings on the street. On March 15, 2015, following a decision to rename the street, University was abridged to just the three blocks between Sherbrooke street and Pine Avenue (ending slightly beyond at the base of Mount Royal). 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「Robert-Bourassa Boulevard」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
