Map with proposed station names:
I don't like this at all. Why is Eglinton-Yonge station now called "Eglinton" station? That name tells you
nothing about where the station is. There very first thing I thought when I saw that station was, "where on Eglinton is Eglinton Station?". This should be called Eglinton-Yonge.
Allen Station is equally weird. Why is it that "Eglinton Station" is named by the east/west street, but Allen is named by the north/south street? And of course, someone on Allen Road will be wondering, "where on Allen is Allen Station?". To keep things consistent, they need to either name them both by the east/west street (so two Eglinton Stations), both by the north/south (Allen Station and Yonge Station), or do the smart thing and name them by the cross street (Eglinton-Allen) and (Eglinton-Yonge).
Naming based on "popular" landmarks or neighbourhoods doesn't make much sense. How many people know exactly where the Science Centre, Oriole Park, Forest Hill, Fairbank or Silverthorne is? Name them by the cross street.
Finally, appending "& Eglinton" onto the name of cross streets makes no sense at all. What's the point of appending that to only at-grade stations? From a customer's POV, it makes it seem as if the rest of the ECLRT isn't on Eglinton. And of course, the line is called 5 Eglinton Line, so adding "&Eglinton" onto the name is redundant.
This whole report is a mess. I can't believe this is what they're actually considering.
