I'd just as easily call this the Coca Cola Stop if this was called the Aga Khan stop. (Due to the loss of a nice modernist building in that area*). I'm glad the surfaces are finally being repaved here for pedestrians.

It will be many years before Science Centre is demo'd, if it does end up moving to Ontario Place.

Sounds to me like it's open until the new location replaces it in 2028.
"Construction on the new centre will begin in 2025 with its opening expected for 2028, the science centre said in a statement. The current science centre will remain open in the interim. It will eventually be demolished, Ford said."

You are very welcome!
Speaking of Wikipedia and speaking of Ontario Science Centre, I managed to sneak in a Kirby reference to the Wikipedia article on the Ontario Science Centre:
Ontario Science Centre - Wikipedia
From the fourth paragraph of that section:
It even has a reliable source to back this up:Wikipedia article on Ontario Science Centre said:
Kirby came to Toronto to celebrate his new game, Kirby: Planet Robobot
To celebrate the upcoming launch of Kirby: Planet Robobot on Nintendo 3DS, the titular pink puff superstar made an in-person appearance this past weekend at the Ontario Science Centre, much to the delight of children and families in attendance. Hands-on game demos, Kirby body painting, free...

The Ontario Science Centre being demolished doesn't sit well with me. While its significance in recent years has somewhat diminished, the building is still a very integral part of the Toronto persona.

Here sits one of the monuments to Metrolinx's inability to lay train tracks, something humans were previously capable of doing for 250 years.
For those keeping score, here's another stairway that could have opened years ago.
These are the ghosts of the track workers who have been condemned to measure the Eglinton tracks for the rest of eternity. They are always here now. And will be, forever.

Can Metrolinx please change the name of this station now. They ought to reconsider their naming policy while they're at it.

This was my first time seeing one of these!
Awaiting its name change. I really hate this area, so I suggest "Suburban Hellscape Centre".
