Toronto Crosstown LRT: Science Centre Station | ?m | 2s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

Or they can call it Aga Khan Station... Aga Khan is building a not for profit housing building with in the celestica building, city has change wynford drive to Aga Khan Boulverd, so would just make logical sense to call this Aga Khan Station.

The eglinton lrt aga khan station can be renamed to dvp station or ferrand as it is called now.

The City has not changed Wynford Drive to Aga Khan Boulevard, they have overlaid an honorary name on a portion of Wynford Drive, similar to how a portion of Duncan Street has carried the honorary name Ed Mirvish Way for several years now. There are a few other cases of this here and there throughout Toronto. Legal addresses will continue to be Wynford Drive.

You are correct..

There are 6 Aga Khan names in the area

- Aga Khan Boulevard (segment of wynford dr)
- Aga Khan Park
- Aga Khan Museum
- Aga Khan Ismaili Centre
- Aga Khan Stop (Eglinton Lrt)
- Aga Khan Multi-Generational Building (at crosstown block 5a under construction) - non for profit housing

It would only make sense since Aga Khan is only one of the 6 honorary canadian citizens https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honorary_Canadian_citizenship and order of canada

I feel like it is a done deal before they change it to Aga khan station... No other options that make sense

I'd prefer Aga Khan Museum over Aga Khan - for the sake of avoiding naming things after living individuals.

Or they could just use the name they already have one stop over

"Aga Khan Park & Museum"

Just want to point out that this is an honorific title - so I don't think there's anything to worry about.

It's funny seeing the rust stains on a line that's still unopened.

These Potemkin stations and surface LRT aren't fooling anybody--the tunnelled section is a ruse, people. ML is fleecing us, stashing the money earmarked for construction into Swiss bank accounts and bitcoin. Same things gonna happen with the OL. You read it here first.

Trees and grass have been planted behind the station, and the part in front of the future 770 Don Mills development has had what looks to be saplings planted (Was just dirt before)

Taken today, November 11th, 2023. The two northern corners of the Don Mills-Eglinton intersection have been fenced off and digging work is ongoing

Why wouldn't you just name this station "Don Mills-Eglinton"?

Or Aga Khan Station - The street ahead is already called honorarily Aga Khan Boulevard. The Aga Khan's landmarks are the only ones remaining once the Science Centre is demolished next year.

I prefer Don Mills-Eglinton. It is the perfect name because it describes where the station is.

It would be great if the Mormons running the nearby meetinghouse don't influence the new name of the station.
