Sheppard station survived being renamed Sheppard-Yonge. No reason Eglinton station can't survive being renamed Eglinton-Yonge.

And of course there's Bloor-Yonge. Doesn't the signage there show "Bloor" on the Yonge platform and "Yonge" on the Bloor platform? Doesn't that make sense?

You take your logic and your common sense and get out of here! Metrolinx will have none of that, y'hear?!

The City of Toronto polled residents along the SmartTrack route. Their preferred alignment, by far, was the Eglinton LRT extension.

Yesterday I was Forum polled on my political views. One of the questions they ask is whether I approve of the job mayor Tory is doing. I pressed 2 for disapprove.

Also included in the Mount Dennis community newsletter is a new transit-oriented development (tower integrated with church) at Weston and Eglinton that I haven't heard about before (anyone have more details?). Its going to be exciting to watch Mount Dennis transform over the next decade. With Line 5 (Crosstown), Smarttrack/GO RER, and the UP Express, along with a huge bus terminal, Mount Dennis is ripe for growth.

Have you noticed that Eglinton West station now labelled "TBD"? It's as if they suddenly haven't figured out what to call it despite all the weird name changes they imposed on us along the rest of the Eglinton line, including the interchange at Yonge.

Metrolinx should just name the station at Yonge after the neighbourhood it's located in . . . Yonge and Eglinton.

As for other points raised. "Bermondsey" is not only unique but unique sounding, like "Bessarion" is. Sloane is too generic. I think precedent is being given to the cross-arterial south of Eglinton anyways, hence "Lebovic", and not "Hakim" so Bermondsey should take priority.

Bermondsey has already been used for a London Underground station: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bermondsey_tube_station

I can't believe there's a subway on Eglinton.

I know when I am in Toronto taking the subway I hear a stop and think "wait...is this the Toronto station or the London England one?" So confusing!!
