The surface stop names might not be finalized yet.

Scarborough councillors are pathetic across the board. You might be better off getting used to "Wexford" than trying to get them to change it to something more rational.

Wexford is a very stupid name for a station on Eglinton at Victoria Park. Why? Wexford is nowhere near there. Not just that, but Eglinton Square or O'Connor are much better names as well.

I'd never email them.
I'll send some emails to councillors along the route tomorrow morning. Anyone want to join me?

Yup, hopefully the councilors can be made useful when it comes to naming things for once.

They can't even keep their naming conventions consistent. If Yonge & Eglinton is "Eglinton" because it's an existing subway station then why isn't Allen and Eglinton "Eglinton West"? If anything Yonge & Eglinton should be "Yonge". Either you use the existing subway station name or you use the cross street name, but not one of each.

I'll be our legal representation. Just note that I charge a very high fee. You gotta pay if you want the best

I have a few more of those little streetcars. How many would you like?

Stealing this comment from udunehommik:
My personal favourite is Eglinton station on the Eglinton line.
"Maybe we should call it Eglinton-Yonge so that it's consistent with Bloor-Yonge and Sheppard-Yonge and actually provides useful information as to where on the 19 km long route it's located? Oh wait nah that's not an option on our all powerful [naming decision tree](https://www.metrolinxengage.com/sites/default/files/decision_tree_-_11x17.pdf), can't do that."
Yet Metrolinx then goes and names the next station to the east Mount Pleasant (which actually does make sense so I'm totally okay with that one), despite the fact that it breaks their "no duplication across the network" rule because of Mount Pleasant station on the Kitchener line. What???

I guess they 't started on an Oakwood station yet since nothing is taking place there.

Certainly not very helpful to have a station name called "Eglinton" when the entire route is along Eglinton.

We wouldn't name a station "Spadina" on the Spadina subway line! Confusion would reign supreme!

Spadina station (on Line 1) should be renamed "Annex" or "Kendal" or "Lowther" and be done with it.
