I knew K/B and Q/S station names are temporary, but didn't know of the other 2, or that Metrolinx (of all people!) were actually inviting input from the public. That's good! I would like to see avoidance of double-name stations, even though we have had many of them in the 2 recently opened lines. I don't know why Corktown is being reconsidered, unless they think it sounds too whimsical or colloquial. I like it, but I don't live in the area, and it should be up to local residents.

King-Bathurst and Queen-Spadina are actually my favourite names of the bunch. They tell you exactly where the station is, and they'll never need to change.

Wow, I didn't realize this was moving. Why the move and what will happen to the building?

They were forced to move. Land expropriation by the Ontario Government, apparently. Also found that out this morning. It's going to be demolished, as far as I'm aware (and was told).

I would have said the same about Dundas.

I can get behind "First Parliament", but yeah to DSCToronto's point.

But then we'd have to rename Parliament to Second Parliament.

Seriously though - what about Berkeley. (Front could be an option too - but it feels to me that there one day might be a better use for that.

Until there's some scandal involving the King, Queen, or Earl Bathurst.

Hopefully the Earl isn't guilty of Cirencest.

Good shot, Eastern is closed until, I think, tomorrow morning for this big pour.

Wow, I remember when that dealership was built. It was a quite a thing at the time.

Yah, Found out from the people there on Saturday, Eastern was closed from 5am Saturday morning until 5am Sunday morning, with Police stationed on all the streets.

Love the last one where it splits the road.

Wa! It's starting to get much easier to visualize the route now. And look at all those cute little mixer trucks & orange vested workers swarming the site Thank you Hawc & Kotsy.
