While 2040 is about 15 years away, I highly doubt all of this will come to fruition. It would do a lot to move everyone around and make the area better.

Really liking this map! A couple names might need a bit of tweaking
Fashion (way outside of fashion district) - alternatives: Clarence Square (to the north) or City Place (to the south)
Pape Village (for outsiders this might be too vague) alternative: Cosburn, Pape-Cosburn
Dentonia Park - alternative: Crescentown?

Note that:
- Fashion District is defined by the area bound by Front, Bathurst, Queen, and Blue Jay Way. For a long time there were many clothiers around Wellington including a sock factory right across from Clarence Square. Connections to the rail corridor were key to that industry at the time.
- Where possible (where there isn't a naming overlap), all names have been aligned with the Business Improvement Area names. In Pape Village, all the street signs show Pape Village if you go to Google Maps street view, so the station name that matches would further grow awareness of this place name.
- Dentonia Park is the historic name for the whole area. Susan Massey (family member of the prominent Massey family of the mid-1800s to mid-1900s e.g. Massey Hall, Massey Ferguson, etc) donated their home in Dentonia Park, originally situated next to a farm used to supply milk to the growing city, to the Crescent School. The Crescent School sold the site to developers that led to the development of Crescent Town neighbourhood, which sits in Dentonia Park (as does Dentonia Park the park, and Dentonia Park Golf Course). Crescent School moved to its location on Bayview near Bridal Path and across from the Granite Club after selling the property to developers. Interestingly Victoria Park was an amusement park located where R C Harris Water Treatment is now located... so Dentonia Park (the area, park and golf course at the station) is far more accurate than Victoria Park which was located at Queen Street.
