If there won't be a underground or covered path to the Science Centre, then lets hope that the future developments in the parking lot plans for a connection to the station and the centre (through other neighbouring buildings).

I'm surprised that no one asked if there will be a washroom in it. It's like with the subway extension everyone wants every sation to have washrooms in them.

It will have a washroom only when the Ontario Line terminates there, as washrooms are for current or previous terminating stations only.

Then why do the Steeles Station plans on the YNSE have public washrooms?

How do you think people will refer to this line when it opens? It's obvious that the TTC will refer to it as Line 5 in their announcements, but what about the general public? I assume people will have names like Eglinton, Eglinton LRT, Eglinton Line, Line 5, Orange Line, Midtown Line, etc. More specifically, will anyone actually use the word Crosstown?

Crosstown to me seems to be the winner, however that may just be my own bias as that's the short-hand name I use for the line.

I think Eglinton LRT is most likely to be the name that the general public uses just like how people call line 3 the Scarborough RT.

I would guess that's true for most outside of Scarborough. Most here in Scarborough just refer to it as "The RT"

I call it the Crosstown.

The www.thecrosstown.ca website and twitter account has seared the branding already into my head.

By that logic, maybe people will call it The LRT. And then when Finch West opens they will call it The Second LRT. ?

In a century, it will be the transporter from Kennedy to the Zoo.

Damn. Beat me to it!

I mean its simply unavoidable. I dont think it means the Crosstown is a failure, its just what people do; they use words they know to describe unfamiliar things.
