Maybe the city should name the new city wards to correspond to the station names? After all, St. Patrick and St. Andrew stations were named after old city ward names.

De Baeremaeker has claimed to support the Eglinton East LRT as part of the network plan. He is trying to prevent advancing it here
Let the record stand. GDB's actions are in clear contrarian to Eglinton Crosstown East.

Can someone provide me a quick run down of how the Scarborough Subway Extension impacts both the current Eglinton LRT construction and future LRT phases?

^it doesn't?
The only way it impacted it was by making the project slightly cheaper as the changes at Kennedy Station are less extensive with the subway option over the SLRT.
If anything the subway has brought the Eglinton East LRT back on the political radar, to the point it may actually get built now.

Tele Town Hall, Jane to Bathurst.
Tele Town Hall, Jane to Bathurst.
The Crosstown’s Communications & Community Relations Team is pleased to be hosting four upcoming tele town halls. These tele town halls will complement a series of upcoming station open houses planned in coordination with Crosslinx Transit Solutions (CTS). Tele town halls are live and interactive phone meetings – very similar to a radio call-in show. The Crosstown’s upcoming tele town halls will provide residents along the Eglinton corridor an opportunity to ask our project team whatever’s on your mind.
On Tuesday, April 4, 2017, residents in the western section of the Eglinton Crosstown corridor (from Jane to Bathurst) will have the opportunity to join in a live and interactive Crosstown conversation. If you live in this area, we will be calling you, and if you’d like to participate or listen in, all you have to do is stay on the line when we call.
If you are interested in participating, but don’t have a landline, you can still join. You can connect to the call from your cellular phone by dialing 1-877-229-8493, ID Code: 112697 at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 4. Alternatively, you can tune into The Crosstown Facebook page, and we will have a link to a web audio stream.

Do we still not know what colour the Eglinton Crosstown LRVs will be? Orange? Green? Red?

Since we're now stuck with the maintenance fees and we operate it, should be red

But wouldn't it be extremely hard to differentiate a Flexity Freedom from a Flexity Outlook if they have the same colour scheme? I know there are significant usability differences, but to some who who doesn't pay attention, they would think they were both the same vehicle.

I don't think the general public will relly notice the difference in the two and they will probably think it's just part of the streetcar network.

Exactly, that's the problem. However, seeing an orange Line 5 will probably reduce the mix ups.

Why do we care so much about making sure people makes the difference between LRT and streetcars?
Lots of people on this forum laughed with great arrogance at citizens who dare call LRT...streetcars. Funny

On the contrary, I think the general public will need as many differentiators as possible. For something as simple as where a vehicle is destined to go, you would be surprised with the number of people who enter a bus for example with the final destination sign clearly displayed and yet they will still ask "does this bus go Kennedy?".
Paint an LRV green and just watch the mass confusion that will ensue between the TTC's streetcars and the Metrolinx LRVs. Let's remember that many people in our society lack general common sense.
