Exactly I don't get why this station should be called Sunnybrook. I actually don't mind the Leaside name. Not every station needs to be named after a street.

The problem with Leaside, is that the centre of Leaside is Eglinton/Laird. Using the name for a station on the very edge of Leaside could be confusing.

Leaside East then.

Leaside East then.

I'd think that would be even more confusing!

The only attachment to Sunnybrook that Bayview and Eglinton has is that crappy strip mall that I live next to. And that strip mall is going to be turned into condos in the next 5 years anyway.

For local residents, Sunnybrook has always referred to either the hospital, or the park at Eglinton & Leslie. (Which is quite far away)

Now I don't think Leaside is a much better name. I will live 30 seconds walking distance from the future Bayview station and yet not reside in Leaside.

Yeah but the station can be seen as the entrance into Leaside since its basically at the border. The Laird station could also have been called Leaside but I also don't mind this one.

Nope, it clearly marks the exit from Leaside, not the entrance!

Not if you're coming from the west.

What do you mean? The western boundary of Leaside was Bayview. The eastern Boundary was east of Brentcliffe, closer to Leslie.

It was a joke. It's only the entrance to Leaside if coming from the west. For people in the east, it would be the exit point.

...as well as the relocation of some of their favourite stores, such as Popeye's, which moved from between Oakwood and Glenholme to the southwest corner of Eglinton and Dynevor, one block west of Dufferin.
