I wonder why it says, "WILL SOON be renamed Cedarvale", when they've already changed the exterior signs.
They need to say it's in the process of changing, and explain that both names refer to the same station.
(I'm not going to write ad copy for them for free; they'll have to figure out how to word it short and simple.)

Have they? I don't think they've changed many (any?) of the interior signs yet.

Addendum to the above: I just had a look at this site's forum for Cedarville Station, and saw the new outside signage has been up since at least June.

ALSO...
I looked for the opening ceremony that was mentioned (because I'd never heard about it, and the Cedarville forum doesn't mention it), and saw a NOW article from last week, where they had an UNOFFICIAL ceremony at the station!

What is this, Schrondingers station?
It is, but isnt Cedarvale?
I don't understand why they changed the name, especially if Finch West remains the same while also having an LRT soon to be attached to it.

Ooh, I don't think I'd want to go into Schrödinger's Station. I might end up being half alive, half not!

I see no information in that thread (https://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threa...5-cedarvale-station-m-1s-metrolinx-norr.19747) saying that the outside signage has been changed. There's only one post since May 2004, and it doesn't show the original entrance.

That also doesn't show the outdoor signage for the old entrance. The NOW articles notes that the station name will change in the future.

Looking at Google Streetview from June, the signage hadn't been changed yet.


There's a brief, very fuzzy, glimpse of the building in one of the UToob videos recorded today. It's hard to be sure, but to me it looks like there's still two words up on the signage, the second being a lot shorter than the first. See the 11:20 minute mark of youtube.com/watch?v=qrk-PBqiQe4

nfitz, you must have been looking at some thread other than the one in your own link. That thread was created in 2013. It has recent pictures from July, and a Google street view picture captured from June.

Also, go back to where you captured this picture, turn and look east, then turn again and look north.

It still says says Eglinton West. The image date is June 2025. The sign has not been changed. Which sign has been changed?

I only see a single 2025 post with two pictures - https://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threa...-1s-metrolinx-norr.19747/page-11#post-2261159

Both pictures are of new entrances. I see no changed signage. Do you see an additional image? Sometimes there's stuff that's not visible to all users.

I give up. I never used the word "changed" in the posts you're objecting to. What I said was, "the new outside signage has been up since at least June". I'm talking about the signs on the new entrances. (Slight correction, I did say "they've already changed the exterior signs", but I meant they've "already changed" to using the new name on exterior signs, i.e. it's not something that will only happen in future, or is just starting now, the change started months ago.)

The real question is, have they updated the transfer machine?

Every UTer's eyes after getting edged so hard for so long for this line to open:

 

[ShonTron]

Definitely still called Eglinton West at subway platform level.

No the one in the original station still says Eglinton West, but the new ones in the new entrance say Ceadevale

How long did it take to change the name of Downsview to Sheppard West? What about Sheppard to Sheppard-Yonge?
