I lived near UofC for a couple years and then near the red mile for another year. Anyways I like names because it makes it more personal in some ways but numbers are preference when giving directions. The bigger a city gets the more I can see numbers as being an asset. Anyways that's not going to happen and I think Im ok with that because street names have some history. But I cant agree that the names on this line are better than the street names closest to the stations.

Silverthorne?

Why Tretheway Station would be better, see above.

 

[Monarch Butterfly]

Fairbank?

Why I think Vaughan Station would be better, see above.

 

[Monarch Butterfly]

Forest Hill?

Why I'm neutral on this. I'll leave it to the locals.

 

[Monarch Butterfly]

Oriole?

Too far. Go with Avenue Road.

 

[Monarch Butterfly]

Leaside?

Let the locals decide.

 

[Monarch Butterfly]

Science Centre?

Like the name. But replace the parking lot with a Science Centre expansion after station boxes for both Eglinton and the Don Mills/DRL lines are completed. Else "Science Centre Parking Lot" may have to be considered.

 

[Monarch Butterfly]

Aga Khan & Eglinton? Instead of Ferrand?

Too far.

Maybe the local residents should suggest a better name.

Do you suggest they also change the Science Centre sign right beside the existing TTC stop as well?

Fairbank?

Why I think Vaughan Station would be better, see above.

Ironically, the vicinity of Vaughan station is far more Metropolitan than the sprawl above Toronto that they call "Vaughan Metropolitan Centre".

I think Laird is the one in question for Leaside, not Bayview/Eglinton

Edit: nope you're right. Funny how I just assumed Laird would be the Leaside station change.

Great to see that no carpeting is to be found

Two-thirds of this image is not in Leaside.
