Perhaps give Highway 7 a name and call it that instead.

So CBC reported on the radio today about the first of 4 working sessions between Metrolinx and the accessible community on this project.
One woman was very vocal against the fact that its half underground citing fears of being trapped in an emergency and claustrophobia....
First of all....classic example of one of the main causes for these projects being stretched for years over what it should take and second....isnt it
a little late to be discussing about this....???

The next day a man comes in and gets vocal about how half the stations are on/above ground, sic agoraphobia. What do you do, what do you do??

And just be glad the lady didn't suggest having open air vehicles to alleviate her conditions.

AoD

The closing of my favourite McDonalds was my last straw. It's about time we ended this madness. Transit City is DEAD!

LOL. Call up Harris. Maybe he's been keeping the cement mixer running.

Eglinton subway, 1992?

Either way, as a deaf individual, I hope there's electronic station callout signs like on newer TTC vehicles.

Guaranteed I will still hate Black Creek Pioneer Village Station

Kids will probably call it BCPV.

Perhaps give Highway 7 a name and call it that instead.

What if they call it Metropolitan Boulevard?

How about "We're way in over our Heads Bouleveard"?

 

[Amare]

Just imagine if this project stretched to Mississauga's office district on Eglinton. We would probably have a station called "Mississauga Corporate Office Centre @ Toronto Airport" with Metrolinx' logic.

If it hasn't been posted, here is a map of Line 5 with the new station/stop names. I'm glad the "& Eglinton" idea died a quick death.

 

[Tulse]

I'm glad the "& Eglinton" idea died a quick death.

Except for the station at Yonge, which is absurdly named "Eglinton". I can't believe how idiotic this is.

Having Don Mills be named Science Centre is a big mistake imo. Don Mills is such a major road artery.

Except for the station at Yonge, which is absurdly named "Eglinton". I can't believe how idiotic this is.

Thankfully, the TTC is in charge of naming that station. The TTC has proven themselves to more competent than Metrolinx's moronic staff, when it comes to naming stations, so I'd expect them to put their foot down and tell Metrolinx that the station will be called Eglinton-Yonge.

 

[UrbanFervour]

Silverthorne is a much nicer name than Keelesdale. The latter just seems tacky to me... Like a fake white-trash name, but for a neighbourhood.

So when arriving at the stop "Aga Khan", I should expect to find this:

Perhaps we can at least call it the Aga Khan Museum stop?
