Or my favourite, South Linear Park. Inspired.

Denzil Minnan Wong will put forward a motion to incorporate Sir John A Macdonald into the new name.

I think I will take the FN name in that case, appropriation or otherwise.

You know, I would really prefer that council respect the public by approving the name that has truly captured that hearts and minds of Torontonians, which is Roady McRoadface.

Rob Ford Commons. Moved by Mammo, seconded by DMW. It will be Mikey Ford's first (only?) yes vote.

 

[Skeezix]

Oh cr*p - you just made me realize something. I know you're joking, but at some point Mammo (DMW not so much) will want to name something after Robbie. We have that debate to look forward to.

 

[AndreaPalladio]

It's hard to imagine what could be large enough or important enough to bear that name. The mind REELS with possibilities.

Old Robbie didn't even know the area under question existed until he was brought there a few years back to see where the Fort York pedestrian bridge would go. It would be funny to name something after him that was totally out of his realm of experience, but not this. It's going to be wonderful if it's done right, and Rob Ford and wonderful are oxymorons. (And I know it was a joke)

Jails. The one in South Etobicoke still needs a proper name. As to Mammo, the zoo can use a new mammalian pavilion.

I'm pretty sure that any park anywhere was outside of his realm of experience, unless it was for playing football or drinking Prince Igor vodka. Not that those two activities were mutually exclusive for the current Mayor of Heaven.

If anything should be named after Ford, it should be a short stretch of Greensboro Dr (where the family forced the City to do special roadwork in front of their business).

We have Nathan Phillips Square named after a previous mayor.

Therefore, I give you Robert Bruce Ford Square (much like Nathan Phillips Square, but with fewer water features and more parked cars):

I'd prefer to see it left as Under the Gardiner, but if there must be a new name, how about "Gardiner Underarm"?

No worse than any reference Rob Ford in my opinion.
