Gotta love our useless shelters which will do nothing to protect us from the rain or snow or anything at all.

I wonder what snow clearing is going to look like when the time comes.

the platform ice melt system is going to be someone riding the LRV's from platform to platform and spreading salt or sand before hopping on the LRV again to the next stop because they can't afford maintenance vehicles.

Mississauga does such a great job during big snowfalls clearing bus stops. Good thing this LRT will only be impassible to people with mobility issues for 3-4 business days after major storms.

The Hurontario LRT is very much a local system. It was a Mississauga and Brampton-led project initially, not GO. It's just as local as the Eglinton LRT. Even the subway is essentially a local type of transit. Just look at the stop spacing on the LRTs/subway versus GO. They serve very different functions. Regional transit stations being named after neighbourhoods is very normal, hence why we have Cooksville GO, Port Credit GO, Streetsville GO, etc. But that same naming scheme generally has no business on a local route, with the occasional exception (Scarborough Centre, North York Centre, Vaughn Metropolitan Centre, to name some valid ones). But naming local transit stations after obscure neighborhoods that no one knows doesn't help with way finding (e.g. Cedarvale) and is in fact confusing in the case of Fairview where it's a block away from Fairview Road and is actually on Central Parkway.

I was referring to your complaint about the Waterfront GO station name in Barrie. I don't see the problem with a GO station named after a neighbourhood instead of name.

There is both Fairview Public School north of Central Parkway and Fairview Road south of Central Parkway and the City will make efforts to establish the neighbourhood name. It's not ideal but it's not a big problem.

You can see Old Mill station along Bloor, even though there are four different Old Mills intersecting Bloor, Greenwood station located on Linnsmore instead of Greenwood, Summerhilll Station on Shaftesbury instead of Summerhill.
