The TTC wants your input as it considers names for the six new subway stations it is building on the 8.6-kilometre Spadina Subway Extension. Until October 21, you can fill out the consultation form online or print it out [PDF] and mail or fax it in.
For each of the six stations, the TTC came up with three names that “make direct reference to their geographic location, to aid passengers and to ensure that the most-prominent words on the walls of the station provide useful information for customers finding their way in the city.” The consultation form also gives respondents the option to suggest another name. Click on the images in the gallery above to see the proposed names for each station.
