Why is this even being changed? What is wrong with Lebovic?

funny how no one dares to say the obvious

 

[AlvinofDiaspar]

It's being named after a local street, not a person.

Though to quibble, the local street is also named after still extant individual.

AoD

Did Mr. Hakimi or his associates want this? I legitimately don't know.

I would completely stand behind changing the name of the street, if that's what it would take to avoid having this station named after Hakimi.

sorry, I tried hinting at racism, clearly wasn't clear enough. purely speculation on my part

 

[TheTigerMaster]

A motion will be moved to name the station at Eglinton and Lebovic, "Centennial".

 

[Palma]

Because a standby generator is the same as a 900MW power plant (as in Oakville)?

Oh sorry. Could not remember. Just remembered the stupidity of the gas plants

 

[Palma]

wow. I'm furious, they're keeping the old names AND changing one of them to Hakimi?
And what's with the pressure of the January 20 date? As if they're forcing the board to just accept the recommendations because they ran out of time.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who is outraged about this. I urge you all to write Mr. Prichard about this prior to the meeting:

I just finished sending an email. What good that's going to do. My previous email regarding these names were never addressed.

 

[Midtown Urbanist]

They could have made up a name from thin air to replace Lebovic station and it would have been better.

I welcome the motion to rename it to Centennial.

 

[Ozman]

A motion will be moved to name the station at Eglinton and Lebovic, "Centennial".

Just curious: How do you know there will be such a motion and who will move it? What do you think the odds are of it being carried?

 

[CDL.TO]

Since there is already a station named Centennial on the GO network, and since there's a station on the previously proposed Scarborough LRT that would be called Centennial College, I think there might be some push back against that name.

 

[jcam]

If they're trying to name it after the school, then it should probably be 'Centennial Ashtonbee'. That eliminates the duplicate at Centennial GO at least.

 

[Hopkins123]

Or just Ashtonbee.

In all seriousness though, what's wrong with Lebovic? It's an original name for Pete's sake.

For one, there should not even be a stop there in the first place

If you don't mind this.

The Town of Aurora has filed several charges against a development company and its two owners after claims that more than 100 trees were destroyed to make way for a golf course before it was approved by the Ontario Municipal Board.

The town says 118 trees, including ash, pine, cedar, maple and oak, were injured or destroyed in the area of Leslie St. and Bloomington Rd., without a permit.

A resident complained June 17, the city says. After an investigation, nine charges were filed against West Hill Redevelopment Company Ltd. and its principals Joe and Wilf Lebovic.
