I'm guessing there was no way to remove the old letters to replace with the new letters.

I think they're etched into the glass so they'd need to replace all the glass panels with the letters with new ones. Hopefully they do that eventually, but given this is Toronto it'll probably be seen as "too expensive" and so this ugly sign will be permanent.

Well I mean take your pick; have Metrolinx spend hundreds of thousands to replace the panels and have it take 5 years after engaging with their consultants on what to do because they're slow with everything, or do it the "quick and easy" way.

It would probably look nice if they had picked any colour other than black. (Though since red is the TTC's corporate colour, that would be boring too.) I'd suggest blue or green.

They should have used an anagram generator and reused the panels! (Yes, I'm joking). "Science Recent" or "Nice Screen Etc" would have been fun!

Should be grey

I bet they change the name one more time before it opens.

They could rename it "Don Valley East" after the electoral district, but 1. That would preclude a future Don Valley North (or West) station, and 2. It's a Liberal riding that the political masters Ford and Sakaria would hate...

Please do.

On the container on the right, SNDO might stand for Still No Damn Opening-date.

This bus is not anticipating retirement anytime soon.

Surely that bus should be stopping in the bay back there, no?

No, that is for Wheel-Trans, but it is weird that across most of route whenever they did road work they put the bike lanes in with raised bike lanes with yellow zones at bus stops, but not here.

I presume there will be more to it. As shown, it is not much shelter if there's a wind.
Over a decade ago, all shelters and garbage cans at the intersection were removed to make way for construction.
Restoration of garbage cans should be next, though they might cover them over so they can't be used until the line opens.
