The proposal was controversial, especially in light of the historical nature of the name. (The STM's Parc Metro and RTM commuter rail station were to remain "Parc" due to a moratorium on renaming metro stations.)
The suggestion generated significant debate, especially considering the name's rich history. The STM's decision to preserve the original names of some metro stations, including Parc, was also shaped by a ban on rebranding these stations.
