Finch West Line 6 LRT

No it was mainly about the 400 bridge, they had some stuff about how the lane closures will work, otherwise I don't think I saw anything new.

New FWLRT map with the final stop names from the naming process reflected. Not sure why "Jane" is still Jane, as that would mean it's a duplicate. Source.

Map updated again. Instead of "Jane", it now properly reads "Jane and Finch".

^And the slashes in the dual-named stops were replaced with spaces.

Jane/Finch station might get a bad rap for its name.

During the consultations on the name this came up. Community members were loud in saying that "Jane and Finch" was the name of their community, and that they wanted to wear it with pride.

Still a better name for that stop/station than that "University Heights" ego boosterism I've heard of from a couple year's back.

God, better hope DoFo doesn't cancel this project.

Why not call it Elia?

I like that, and think it's a good idea -- part of the promise of higher order rapid transit (provided it's done right and land use is updated accordingly) is better community-building, and if it's successful, then it can be a helpful aspect of the associated re-branding.

Yes, the city needs more high quality rapid transit.

judging by the rendering there will be space along finch where development can occur

More than the initial 17 light rail vehicles (Alstom) could be stored on the Finch West facility. Likely more with the east extension to Finch Station and west extension to the Pearson Transit Hub.
