It is proposed that the station will become one of the most important interchange stations in northern Paris. The northern extension of Line 4 to the "docks" of Saint-Ouen (an urban redevelopment project next to the Seine) via Mairie de Saint-Ouen is planned for phase 1 (2007–2013) of the Schéma directeur de la région Île-de-France ("Master plan for the Île-de-France region", SDRIF), which was adopted by resolution of the Regional Council of Ile-de-France on 25 September 2008.[1]

The study of the Syndicat des transports d'Île-de-France ("Île-de-France public transport executive", STIF) of October 2007 recommended an extension of line Line 14 by 5.9 kilometres by 2017, intersecting the northwestern branch of line 13 at Porte de Clichy and the northern branch at Mairie de Saint-Ouen in order to reduce crowding on the line.[2]
