Aga Khan & Eglinton

The name Eglinton shouldn't be attached to the station. Why not just Aga Khan? I rather see this stop name after the actual place. Why not just leave it as Ferrard or Flemingdon Park?

Keep it to street names. Ferrand is fine.

Nobody will know where Aga Kahn is

Brings visibility to where the museum is and will help tourists/locals find it.
For a landmark location, it would make sense to drop the "& Eglinton" part, although that seems to be standard for the surface route stops. Think just "Aga Khan Museum" would be better.

New landmark, however it sounds kind of tacky. Don Valley Station might work better.

If "Science Centre" serves (as a unique point on Eglinton), then so should "Aga Khan Museum." It's not like there's an "Aga Khan & Lawrence," and the Aga Khan himself is not the point of reference.

Alternatively, the neighbourhood of "Flemingdon Park" is fairly well-known.

While the name is distinctive, it's quite unfamiliar, and doesn't mesh up with any of the streets in the area. That said, I don't see any alternatives that would work as well.

Just call it Aga Khan. Drop the "Eglinton" part.

I do no think that religious groups should have their names on public property.

This is not a simple name for a station. Why not call it Flemingdon Park as this is the closets neighbourhood to the south - this criteria has been used for other re-named stations (like Leaside).

Name is too long. Should just be Aga Khan.

It's misleading that Aga Khan sounds like a cross street off Eglinton. Perhaps a better name would just be Aga Khan without the "& Eglinton" part.

Fails principle #4, as it gives no clue to the area unless you're already familiar with the area and its landmarks.

Why the '& eglinton'? Aga Khan Station sounds fine to me.

I don't think this name will give many Torontoians a clear sense of where stop is located. It also links the stop to a religious museum for a small sect. Unlike the Science Centre, the Aga Khan museum is not destination widely known. It would be better to reference the DVP, Flemmingdon, Don Mills Eastside?

Flemingdon Park would be a better name.

Just keep it at Aga Khan. Less confusing without the Eglinton attached to it. Shows where the Aga Khan museum is.

I like the uniqueness but unless the stop is right by the museum and/or very easy to access from the stop, then it might be misleading a bit.

Aga Khan and Eglinton implies that the station is on Eglinton Avenue at a cross street called Aga Khan. I think a better name would be "Aga Khan Museum"

Flemington Park is an appropriate name. Keep religion and religious places out of the public domain!

This should be a tourist attraction. Unsure if it's well enough known for riders yet. By your opening it probably makes sense in 2021.
Ferrand isn't a major road or route, so unlike Bathurst or Dufferin, it shouldn't be essential to call his stop "Ferrand"

A local land mark and a major multi-cultural museum. But I prefer "Aga Khan Museum" as this will be clearer.

Aga Khan is fine "Aga Khan & Eglinton" is to wordy for the station name. I recognize that "& Eglinton" is supposed to denote an above ground station, but in this situation it seems unnecessary as this station name should not conflict with any others in the near future.

TTC should avoid station names that are the names of actual people. Station names should reflect widely known name identifying the local area.

Name the station after the area to the south, Flemingdon Park.

I saw the proposed '& Eglinton' names (on BlogTO) and had to sign up to voice my opinion. The line has Eglinton in it's name, there's no need to be reminded every stop. Aga Khan is a great name for a stop, leave it at that. Same goes for all the others. As a professional graphic designer, in a town full of professional designers, the TTC map (and brand) is already a disgraceful embarrassment, there's no need to litter it more with pointless information. I know there's already one Victoria Park, but calling it Victoria Park & Eglinton does not limit the confusion, it'll probably make it worse if anything. I find it hard to believe that there are no more landmarks in the area or that there are no more words in the dictionary to use. The best thing about building something new is that it's... new, and doesn't have to "be like that but slightly different, sort of thing, kind of". People will have no frame of reference and will soon, if not immediately learn, adapt and recognise the new station and the area it refers to. You could call it... *looks around room*... Bookcase! There's now a station called Bookcase - no one is going to confuse that with anything else, I can assure you!

Making your own flow chart and then sticking to it like gospel is the dumbest and most archaic thing i've heard since... well, the gospel (no offence), but I guess it keeps all the politicians happy whilst providing them the content for endless debates.

Thank you for making me sign up, I look forward to ranting more in the future.

P.S. Metrolinx is the best thing to happy to Toronto probably ever, so keep up the good work :)

The location of the Aga Khan Museum is not necessarily widely known (violates 4). Those who do not know about the museum will have no idea what "Aga Khan" is relevant to (violates 1 and 2). The neighbourhood name may be a useful option here, since there are no major cross streets and the station is fairly centrally located in Flemingdon Park.

ALL of the stations are on Eglinton, so the name "Eglinton" does not need to be repeated

How about Ismaili Centre
Or
Aga Khan Museum

NOT just plain Aga Khan

The name should not have two landmarks in it, simply "Aga Khan Station" would be fine, this also goes for any other names that include "Eglinton"

Eglinton is redundant.
Roads are better geographic identifiers.

Should stay as Ferrand. If Aga Khan must be included, make it a subtitle (c.f. Bay Stn).

The &Eglinton in the names is unnecessary as it is implied.

I like naming the station after the Aga Khan museum, but I think the station name should just be Aga Khan - we don't call it Museum & University. Aga Khan & Eglinton is just too long for a station name.

Not a fan of the "& Eglinton" its the Eglinton LRT, of course the station is "& Eglinton" Should be "Aga Khan Museum"
I thought these names were suppose to be one if possible?

If its a surface stop why even give it a name? Whatever intersection the street stops at will have the name up on the street sign for drivers. I have never heard of Aga Khan

* Redundant (Most of the stops are on Eglinton; doesn't need to be in the name
* Ignores local community. There are several nearby including Flemingdon Park. At least go with that or a nearby street.
* How many people visit Aga Khan Museum annually? Is it really a landmark?
* Did you consult any nearby residents about what they think?

If not Flemingdon Park, how about just "Don Valley" station?

there is nothing else around it to name it so yeah best name.

I have visited the Aga Khan Museum and it's an evident landmark and easy to remember. It meets the guidelines Metrolinx has posted.

Keep "Aga Khan" and drop the & Eglinton part.

I've lived in Toronto my whole life and I've never heard of the Aga Khan Museum before. I don't know if that makes me common or just an anomaly, but I can't see that name being very useful for tourists or new residents. If you're trying to get to a business or residence located in this area and the only information you have is the neighbourhood and/or street address, then the name Aga Khan doesn't really convey anything useful to you. Moreover, a tourist or new resident could easily be misled into believing that Aga Khan is the name of a street, despite no such street existing. The next few stops all use the [... & Eglinton] naming style and use street names, not landmarks, so keeping things consistent would make more sense.

I would suggest something like: "Don Valley", "Don Valley Pkwy", "Ferrand", "Gervais", or "Flemingdon Park".

This is a very new museum that not many people know yet. Flemingdon, or Flemingdon Park would be a better choice, and more recognisable. Also, why is this stop so close to "Science Centre?" Seems like strange spacing.

It's not simple, and not everyone is familiar with what the Aga Khan is.

It's an incredibly important landmark - an Islamic museum in a very difficult time - it's a world-class institution the city should be proud of!

The name Eglinton is redundant, and "Aga Khan" on it's own is not logical. Just "Aga Khan Museum" is simple (1), logical (2), durable (3), self-locating (4) and unique (5) -- fulfills all criteria!

It is a beautiful PIECE OF ARCHITECTURE that I am very proud to have in my country,
It also identifies Canada with diversity.

An institution that has open been open for a few months holds no name recognition. Why is & Eglinton added to the end? This had not been done at any other station and is equivalent to calling Leslie station on Line 4 "Ikea & Sheppard", or Museum station on Line 1 "ROM & Bloor".

Wynford would be a more logical choice.

Just call it Aga Khan, the "& Eglinton" is redundant. For instance Museum station isn't called "ROM & Bloor", that would be silly.

I selected "dislike" for 2 reasons:

1) we don't need "and Eglinton" in the name
2) I think we should also consider paying tribute to Flemingdon Park and name it after the neighborhood.

i don't mind calling it "Aga Khan" but I'd still prefer to see it named Flemingon Park.

aga khan and eglinton sounds awkward
prefer aga khan

Flemingdon Park or Wynford is a much better choice. I live very near to this station and I do not think this name is very reflective of it.

Aga Khan Museum

Simple and Logical and relates to a Landmark Museum.

There's only one Aga Khan in Toronto, and presumably riders already know they're on Eglinton. It should just be "Aga Khan".

I would prefer if it says "Aga Khan Museum" as it is printed on the road signs and also visible from DVP. Word Eglinton is redundant as ppl who are traveling on this LRT knows this is the Eglinton line.

Puts a world view on the map of toronto! Just like London, England has ismaili center signs and names everyone in the tube

Would prefer Aga Khan Museum but Aga Khan and Eglinton works too!

Several reasons:
-it is not a well-known landmark in Toronto
-it is far from the actual LRT stop
-there is nothing wrong with "Ferrand"
-the use of "...& Eglinton" is superfluous when using a landmark. that should only be used for cross-streets.

I absolutely hate the use of "& Eglinton" at this and any other stop for what is a service on Eglinton. It seems daft and redundant, and goes against the principle of being simple. And we don't use - for example - "& Yonge" at every 1 line station on the subway.

Drop the & Eglinton and add Museum. Aga Khan Museum. Makes it easier for visitors using the transit system and highlights a major landmark in the area.

Has a nice ring to it, has cultural meaning

Why not just Aga Khan or Aga Khan Museum as it will serve as a unique point

Unique and memorial name

Just like High Park station, "Aga Khan Park" is relevant and logical name that this station should have. This space has uplifted the neighbourhood and brings everyone together

Naming after Aga Khan is fine, whatever.
Why do you need the "& Eglinton" on all the above-ground stations? Either you've never been to the station before and the "& Eglinton" doesn't help you because its not an intuitive indicator of being above-ground, or you have been there and you know where it is. Regardless, I think you'll figure out its above-ground when you get there.

And since there's no page for Allen Station... it should be Eglinton West to match the TTC station (similar to Metrolinx Eglinton Station at the TTC Eglinton station).

As said, the Aga Khan Museum is a highly visible landmark. Considering this amazing museum is in plain sight, as well as the ismaili centre. Without a doubt should it be named Aga Khan & Eglinton

I feel that the name shouldn't necessarily be tied to a venue that could potentially change. I feel that at the very least it could be name after the neighbourhood similar to Silverthorne. I would call it "Flemingdon Park".

Leave it just as Aga Khan. You're not proposing "Science Centre & Eglinton", so why is this any different?

If you want to recognize the Aga Khan presence, then just call the station Aga Khan which will likely be how it's identified in practice--drop the "& Eglinton".

Good to associate with this new landmark - but if you're going to do that, please rename Dupont Station on Line 1, Casa Loma (Dupont) Station. Also, why not "Flemingdon Park station"?

Appropriate name.

This one is terrible! Firstly, the Aga Khan is a person. If you call it "Aga Khan and Eglinton", I'm half-expecting to find the actual Aga Khan standing there at the station. For heaven's sake, call it "Aga Khan Museum and Eglinton", or even simply "Aga Khan Museum". That works fine. But you have to specify that the station stop serves the museum, and not the Aga Khan himself.

Sounds great. Aga Khan Museum or Ismaili Centre also seem like good options here

While I like the use of Aga Khan - I don't believe that the suffix "& Eglinton" should be anywhere there. It's long, it's awkward, and doesn't appear on any of the other lines. The crosstown is ON Eglinton, so it should be assumed that all stops are as well.

I don't feel the Aga Khan Museum has had enough time to develop a city-wide recognizable profile in order to have an LRT station named for it. The Science Centre on the other hand has existed nearby for decades and rightly deserves a station name. If the name Flemingdon or Flemingdon Park has not been used for stations anywhere else (i.e., a bus stop), I think that name would be more appropriate for the neighbourhood.

Aga Khan Museum is an important landmark and is very visible building. There is much curiosity around it and being toronto's landmark, there is alot of traffic around it. Giving it that name, makes it easier for passengers to know when to get off and also gives toronto tourism some extra points

Just call it Aga Khan.

Simple and logical

It just makes sense.

Alternatively, calling it Aga Khan Park or Aga Khan Museum would be a great name as it is a key Landmark at this station.

I don't know why there is a need for a stop there. Having said that, transit riders only need is to figure out the nearest stop to where they want to go. Aga Khan museum is not a useful locater guide. Ferrand Drive or Don Valley would be better. Also anybody wanting to visit the Museum would not want to get off at that stop anyway. There is a better option on another route. Thank you.

The area is known as "Flemingdon Park" and therefore, using Metrolinx's logic, it should reflect the local area.

Either get rid of the "& Eglinton" at the end, put it in brackets underneath, or change it to Flemingdon Park. While Flemingdon Park isn't that close, it represents that area better than Aga Khan

Aga Khan Museum should be good

The centre and museum are a beautiful sight that were added by the Aga Khan. In order to honour the magnificent attraction it would be outstanding to see the new station name after these prestigious buildings. In light also showing the multicultural municipality that the heart and drive of the Great city of Toronto

unfamiliar to many. I prefer don valley or Flemington, which are more familiar and appropriate to the area..

I think Ismaili Centre or Aga Khan Museum would be better than just "Aga Khan". For example, the Tube in London actually has signs at it's South Kensington station for the Ismaili Centre and it seems to work well.

I do not agree with this convention for the Eglinton surface stops. The requirement to avoid duplication should be confined to grade-separated stations. If we ever end up with a comprehensive LRT network, this convention will make our maps unreadable.

The entire line is located on or below Eglinton Avenue, so the appendage of Eglinton to each surface stop only impedes map readability. "Aga Khan" will remain unique, and it is a landmark, not a cross-street. "Aga Khan & Eglinton" makes no sense. Compare this to "Eglinton" station on the Eglinton line - a station name that will only cause confusion. Where is the actual cross-street: Yonge? "Eglinton" should be renamed "Eglinton-Yonge" or even "Yonge & Eglinton" (that's what the area is best known as, after all).

There is no other notable landmark. In, fact, I would simply call it Aga Khan Museum and Ismaili Center. The Eglinton part of the name seems superfluous as the line runs along Eglinton

'Aga Khan' is the honorarium of an individual person and not a proper description of the stop.
It should be called 'Aga Khan Museum' & Eglinton.

Ditch the "& Eglinton" off the end. It implies there's an "Aga Khan & Eglinton" intersection, but in fact there's no street named Aga Khan.
Go with just "Aga Khan", after the museum.

Actually, just calling it 'Aga Khan Museum' or 'Aga Khan Park' would be better...
Drop the '& Eglinton'.

Re "Aga Khan": I agree with others that the word "Museum" should be included. It is not appropriate to name a station after a person (whether they have religious ties or not). Indeed, have you even bothered to ask him?

The rest of this comment is about the report in general as you don't have a bucket for such feedback:

As many others have pointed out, some of the station names are inappropriate and seem simply to be an exercise in picking something other than a street name for the sake of fitting your plan. Also, in the (very poor quality) future network map, you show Leslie & Eglinton station as "Sunnybrook Park", quite a nice name, but one you appear to have discarded. A shame.

Also, you show "Finch West" station which is already under construction by that name as "Keele & Finch".

You show "Eglinton West" under that name, not as "Allen".

"Eglinton" is already called that, not "Yonge-Eglinton".

Was this report prepared by a consultant with little knowledge of Toronto and a lot of time on Google Maps? That seems to be par for the course with some work.

Also hilarious to note that your future does not include SmartTrack.

It is a landmark in Toronto and the most well known destination in the area

The aga khan museum is now a major attraction in Toronto and many ppl will be taking the train just to see that so it warrants it's own stop.

Call it Aga Khan Museum

Very relevant to the landmark in the area!

If the map is accurate, then this station is already kind of redundant, with a redundant name to boot.

Adding & Eglinton to the end of it is also confusing, it sounds like that's an intersection. It would make more sense to leave it at Ferrand.

Ferrand makes more sense here, and adding "Eglinton" is redundant and confusing, especially as it is not similarly done at other stops. "Ferrand-Aga Khan" should work as well, or "Aga Khan & Ferrand".

It is a beautiful landmark and to name this stop would provide pride to the community as well as support for cultural diversity and religious tolerance, in addition to nature.

This is a general comment for all the surface stops: why must "& Eglinton" be appended to each stop name? Current TTC LRT and bus stop announcements don't need to remind riders of the road they are travelling along. Remove the "& Eglinton" from all. For this one, suggest including full "Aga Khan Museum" name.

Represents the area so well. 10,000 Aga Khanis/Ismailis within a couple KM radius. So much giving back to the community. Very fitting, striking, and says a lot about the City of Toronto.

Metrolinx is trying to be too cute and clever with station names. Station names should be easy to understand for locals and non-locals. This isn't a branding exercise. It should be about easy way-finding. Furthermore, it is disrespectful to the community of Flemingdon Park, which is a far more recognizable and well-established name. "Wynford" or 'Flemingdon Park" is much more logical.

Aga Khan is a highly visible landmark, but it is a religious museum. Flemingdon Park would much better represent the neighbourhood and the bulk of the rider base at this stop.

Drop Eglington. It's redundant since we're on the Eglinton LRT.

Call it:
"Aga Khan Museum" (1st Option)
"Aga Khan" (2nd Option)

Easy to remember
Better than East/West names like Eglinton West and Eglinton East
Lawrence East and West

I think the name "Aga Khan Park" would be best for this station as there is a landmark structure with this name adjacent to the Ferrand station on the north side of Eglinton Avenue. Aga Khan Park is shared by the Aga Khan Museum and the Ismaili Center which are both unique and iconic buildings. At the launch of this project, the development was described by the owners as two buildings located in a Park; the buildings therefore are an adjunct to the Park. The has elicited rave reviews as a unique element in its own right as an urban park.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this issue.

"Aga Khan" is entirely inappropriate.

Keep religion and cultural imperialism away from the TTC. Shame on the person who even suggested this.

If you're really stuck for a name (and there's no way you should be), the station is at the established community (just like Leaside and Forest Hill) of Flemingdon Park.

1) Having grade-separation in the naming decision tree is a distinction without a difference for a transit user. What a terrible idea!
2) If you want unique names and to build multiple parallel lines (e.g. Sheppard East), then community names should given preference over street names, rather than effectively tacking the line name onto each station name.
3) Tacking '& Eglinton' to the end of some (but not all!) station names is redundant and inconsistent at the same time. Bravo!
4) For 'Aga Khan & Eglinton', it doesn't even manage to follow the decision tree. When veering from the decision tree, at least it should be for the sake of a much better name, not the worst name of all.
5) The name doesn't follow Metrolinx's principles either. It's not #1 Simple, #2 Logical because it's not the cross-street, #4 Self-Locating because it is far from the museum
6) A better station name would be (pick only one!) the community (Flemingdon, Flemingdon Park), the closest cross street (Ferrand), a landmark (Aga Khan Museum), or geographical feature (Don Valley)
7) Since the Aga Khan is a living person, it would be the most inappropriate choice for a station name of all.

Easier

I like this name but would change to Aga Khan Museum and Eglinton

AK&E would make it easier to find where you are going.

Aga Khan is not a street. Therefore "& Eglinton" makes no sense (see Science Centre station). "Aga Khan station" or "Aga Khan Museum" are fine.

I'd favour "Flemingdon Park" station except that to me it refers to a potential future rapid transit station near Don Mills and Overlea. So maybe "Flemingdon Park North"?

(I chose "Strongly Dislike" because the "& Eglinton" appendix is nonsensical, without it I would have chosen "Like").

It is my chosen religious center in Toronto

Aga Khan Museum

I would prefer the name of the station (without Eglinton, as the route is already on Eglinton) as "Aga Khan Park" or "Aga Khan Park" as they are both landmarks that are identifiable and unique.
Aga Khan Museum: "A majestic structure in a plain Toronto suburb, the ambitious Aga Khan Museum pays tribute to an ancient culture by setting a new standard in contemporary design"
For those who are not aware of this: please read Globe & Mail's article http://bit.ly/GM-AgaKhanMuseum

Unique Name -

why not just Aga Khan Center. landmark with museum, park and Ismaili center, so it fits the bill.

It's actually pretty far from the museum! Better to call it Station Pretty Close to Aga Khan.

The new museum is a beautiful location and very clearly visible along the road. This name will give it presence and really encourage people to attend. Love it!

I think this is an appropriate name given the recent Aga Khan Museum and Park.
The whole area has been uplifted from these new additions
As a resident of this area and a transit user, I would be delighted with the proposed name.

Zahida Lakhani

Toronto's newest landmark and a unique place of interest in all of North America

I have never heard of this before. I know of the Agha Khan group but is this locally know in area and the city. Would prefer something about location. Why not 2 names. One for the museum and DVP.

The Ferrand stop is not close to the Aga Khan Museum. In fact, it is on the wrong side of Eglinton Avenue to even access the Aga Khan Museum without jaywalking (and likely being killed by multiple cars that are exiting the Don Valley Parkway).

Further, this is a stop NOT a full-fledged station. Granted, it will be a deluxe stop by Toronto standards but, if I was the Aga Khan, I would publicly thank Metrolinx for the naming and privately feel insulted that only a bus stop had been named in my honour. Former city councillors and mayors get to rename parks, but a significant religious figure gets a bus stop? Very insulting.

More to the point, I did not realize that our government was now naming public infrastructure, paid for by taxpayers of all denominations, for religious figures and their private (although publicly accessible) institutions. Inappropriate.

The "& Eglinton" works for other locations, but is awkward for this stop. I'd prefer calling the stop "Aga Khan Museum"

Its the biggest landmark in the area and the station reflects the name of the centre, park and the Museum. People will easily know what this stop has to offer. Tho I would just like the name "Aga Khan Station". as this is already an Eglinton transit.

Aga Khan Museum, Park and the Ismaili Centre are beautiful and peaceful

The Muslims can feel like they belong.

Name identified the local landmark

The Aga Khan is a person. A better name would be simply "Aga Khan Park." The Aga Khan Park is flanked by the "Ismaili Centre Toronto" and the "Aga Khan Museum," both of which would also serve as excellent names for a stop. Also, the addition of '& Eglinton' is clunky to say and unnecessary. It's an Eglinton LRT. If the Oriole Park stop were to be named Oriole Park and Eglinton, that would similarly sound clunky.
In general, the use of the name Aga Khan Park/Museum is a great idea, considering so many people and websites have now listed it as one of the top attractions in the city - and a unique one at that. Similar to the Science Centre, destination-based naming in this sense is appropriate.

Get rid of the "&Eglinton". Stick to Aga Khan Museum!

Just name it Aga Khan Museum and drop the Eglinton.

I prefer to name Aga Khan Museum. This is first type of a land mark in Toronto and I am sure the community within the area will enjoy the fruit as the seed has already been planted.

Aha khan has done so much goodness for communities and holds global ethical values that our society can all relate to. Why not honour this goodness. How proud I would be as a member of this multicultural city to have such a name on the metro. Thank u for this consideration. Fingers crossed!

The Aga Khan is a religious leader and non-reigning royal. Calling a staion "Aga Khan & Eglinton" is like saying "the Pope & Finch" or "Queen Elizabeth & Bloor". Doesn't make much sense. "Aga Khan" is the name of the museum, not a street so the name violates your own decision tree. Since it is a private museum you shouldn't name the station after it unless they purchase naming rights (which you shouldn't be selling). If they haven't purchase naming rights call it Don Valley Parkway (everyone knows where that is) or "Ferrand" if you must

A member of an online group called it the Aga a Khan Campus because it has 3 contiguous structures: the Ismaili Centre, the magnificent park open to the general public and the unique museum, open to the general public. Traveling up and down the Don Valley Parkway you see a large sign saying 'Aga Khan Museum', again open to the general public. The Ismail Centre with the large crystalline roof is available for viewing during the day for general visitors but not in the evening during prayers. My first choice would be 'Aga Khan Campus'. My second choice would be 'Aga Khan Museum'. The Aga Khan IV is an honorary Canadian Citizen and leads a very peaceful, law-abiding community. His grandfather and predecessor Imam(Aga Khan III) advised his community in the 1930s to shed the hijab, niqab and burka face coverings in the 1930s in favour of modest western dress. This was a prescient decision given the problems these face coverings are causing today.

Museum is an iconic landmark in the area.

I Would like to named as the

La park - Eglinton

Unique. Eglinton is not necessary. Aga Khan Park may be more appropriate.

Describes the major point of interest around that area.

Every torontian knows about this epic landmark,even those not part of the community because it stands out and is a symbol of pure and spiritual beauty in its design. Naming the station after this monument makes it simple for passengers to understand what area and neighborhood that stations is referring to exactly and plan their commute and trip without getting off a station before or after. Basically, even a traveler with a very low sense of direction (or a newbee or tourist) naming the station after such a recent yet famous monument, helps put the area into perspective.

Although Aga Khan & Eglinton is a good name (covers the entire area well) it sounds more like an intersection! I think "Aga Khan Museum Statiom" has a better ring to it.

Because I am Ismaili and Aga khan name is very precious to me. It also makes sense since the Aga Khan Museum is located on route but Museum name is already taken.

Aga Khan Museum would be more appropriate as others have commented as opposed to just Aga Khan. Definitely drop the '& Eglinton' for this and other surface stops. Also, Ferrand was not terribly problematic in the first place. Either Ferrand or Aga Khan Museum would be acceptable.

Aga Khan Museum is the famous name now in GTA. I believer just Aga Khan would be great choice for our citizens to identify the station.

Known internationally & people from around the world come to visit

Makes sense!

If we are to use the landmark as a station name it should be either "Aga Khan Station" or "Aga Khan Museum Station".

Perfect name - very suitable to the area. Although, "Aga Khan Museum" would be a 10X better name.

Why not call it Aga Khan museum and drop the Eglinton part. Why the renaming when other parts of the line are being named after the neighbourhood. Wouldn't Flemingdon Park work better - since that's what TTC routes have as their destination?

This stop should just be "Aga Khan", like "Science Centre" directly to the west. Moreover, I disagree with adding "& Eglinton" to any stop on this line. It is the Eglinton Line. All of the stops are on Eglinton. Adding "& Eglinton" to the street level stops is just unnecessary clutter, especially on the sample map shown for this line. It will be completely unnecessary if also added to the next stop announcements onboard vehicles.

I think that the "& Eglinton" part in Aga Khan & Eglinton is a little extra. Since it is close both to Ferrand Drive and the DVP, perhaps have either one or both in brackets or smaller texts like the University subway

Aga khan museum is the iconic place in that area. Aga khan is the citizen of Canada who promotes same value system of Canada.

Because the Agakhan museum is a easy locator finder, simple and easy to remember

Aga khan Station is better

Its at crossrosds though i would like
agakhan-museum/eglinton

The Museum is a land mark structure so it is only appropriate to name the station after it.

The Aga Khan Museum is a great local landmark and tourist draw.

Aga Khan Musium has gained fame in such a short time, has become well known and has been featured on top as places to visit in Toronto's media, attracts great # of visitors not only from Toronto but GTA, other provinces of Canada and also visitors from USA and other parts of the world. This is good sign for Toronto economy.

This is good sign for Toronto economy. As for the name it better suits Aga Khan Museum or Aga Khan Park

Easy to relate to as it has buildings of significance and visibility

Aga Khan Museum is a highly visible landmark, however, I think the name should be changed to Agakhan Museum instead of Agakhan & Eglinton. As you can see, the word Eglinton has already been repeated two times on the transit line (Eglinton West, Eglinton at Yonge). Any tourist or local or new immigrant would be confused between Eglinton West, Eglinton & Yonge and now Eglinton East with the LRT. All the stops on the NEW LRT should be named without the word 'Eglinton'. e.g. LAIRD, Agakhan Museum, Wynford, Bermondsey, Victoria Park, etc.

Aga Khan Museum sounds better

The Aga Khan centre located off of Wynford (north of that stop) not Eglinton. This would be confusing for someone who is unfamiliar with the area and would get off at that stop thinking that it was right there, when in reality it would be a good 10 - 15 min walk (in good weather).
Eglinton East or Eglinton & Wynford are better suited in my opinion.

Not sure about this one... kind of cool to promote the Aga Khan centre, though -- and Ferrand isn't that well-known a street... works for tourists, too.

There should be the name Aga Khan on the station name as it is close to 2 recently opened landmarks marked by that name, which will increasingly become well known over the course of the history of Toronto, and which are likely to be around for many future generations of transit users - Aga Khan Museum and Aga Khan Park (which is closest to the Eglinton Avenue street level) - these are also highly visible landmarks in their physical appearance and alluring architecture and landscape. I would recommend the name I) Aga Khan Park ii) Aga Khan Museum but NOT Aga Khan & Eglinton (Eglinton is redundant and does not give any additional information, NOT Don Valley as it is not close to the Don Valley itself, NOT Ferrand Drive as it is not on Ferrand Drive, NOT Flemingdon Park as this area is much further south of Eglinton.

I prefer the name to be Agakhan Museum

Less people know about or care about this place than you think. Nobody sees this as the place to be in Toronto, somewhere they WANT to go. DVP station works

I think public stops shouldn't choose religiously affiliated names in the future if possible. I also favour street based names. Makes it clear and precise.

This is a great name for the station, however please call it 'Aga Khan Museum' instead of "Aga Khan and Eglinton". It's confusing and redundant. "Ferrand Drive" is a too minor of a street and doesn't actually intersect with Eglinton in the truest sense.

As for the participants complaining about "religious groups" having an influence on station naming, think of stations like St Andrew and St Patrick before speaking. The Aga Khan Museum is probably one of the most significant developments in Toronto in a long time. It is widely known across the world. The identification of this tourist destination as a station will definitely improve transit use along this line.

Aka Khan Museum is the best choice, don't need "Eglinton". The Aga Khan Foundation offers offers charitable services around the developing world regardless of race or religion.

Call it "Aga Khan Museum". Having this museum in Toronto is a huge benefit for the city. It is recognized around the world and is already a major tourist attraction despite only being open for a year. Calling it Aga Khan Museum will make it the iconic Toronto landmark that it is destined to become. Having the word Eglinton just makes it odd sounding and confusing.

Better to just call it Aga Khan. No need to add Eglinton since it is the Eglinton cross town line anyway.

It's a unique name and has a visible landmark!!

While it certainly identifies the stop, it is a significant walk from the stop to the museum. It also doesn't match the naming pattern for museums.

Royal Ontario Museum is simply Museum
Black Creek Pioneer Village is Pioneer Village
Ontario Science Centre is Science Centre
why then is Agha Khan Museum Agha Khan?

I'm not sure it's appropriate to name after recognizable living people.

Perhaps Ismaili Centre would be more appropriate, as it is closer. Better yet - call it Ontario Federation of Labour.

Or why not simply Gervais or Ferrand?

Aga Khan designates a person - it is not the name of a landmark or place! Aga Khan Museum, or Aga Khan Park is the landmark!

I like the "Aga Khan", no need to specify the "& Eglinton"

In your decision tree for naming a station only lower order lines use an & .
But this is an LRT line is it not? It looks weird to have regular station names then anything above ground is with an &.
So you're really differentiating that the above ground portion of the LRT isn't really a higher order rapid transit.. there should be consistency for all stops on the same line, regardless if its above ground or below.

Drop the & Eglinton.

Twofold, first, the Aga Khan Museum is a good walk from the location of this stop, and, while certainly in the area, is hardly an appropriate identifying landmark for this particular stop (in contrast to the way that the ROM, by dint of actually being next to the subway station, is for Museum station).

Second, as a living, breathing person (admittedly also a title), calling the stop "Aga Khan," sounds somewhat silly. Naming it "Aga Khan Museum," would be infinitely preferable. Hypothetically, if it was a museum to Jean Chretien built there (to use a random example), calling the stop simply, "Jean Chretien," would be absolutely ridiculous, and the same holds true here.

Should be Aga Khan Museum

Philanthropic and Unique name.

While the Aga Khan is new it will become a much better know site and tourist attraction. I like it.

Simple & Logical

Certainly the name you suggest will be good for visitors. But, long term local residents who have lived here for 30 years longer than the museum would prefer "Wynford" as the station name. Visitors will know that the museum is on Wynford Drive and locals will appreciate the district recognition: just like Leaside, Victoria Village etc.

Just keep Aga Khan, as it's simple & durable.

Keep it just "Aga Khan", as it's simple & durable.

because Aga khan Museum is a visible landmark

Aga Khan . strongly vote.

Why the "& Eglinton" part? It's excessive and unnecessary.

"Aga Khan" will be perfect name

The subway would be right near the AgaKhan Museum and the AgaKhan Park- which are big landmarks for our city. It brings people of different faiths and cultures together in a peaceful way.

Aga Khan by itself is fine with me (though I have never heard of it before). Though I do think Flemingdon Park or Ferrand might be a better and more widely recognizable option. In either instance I'd highly recommend dropping the "& Eglinton" in this and all other station names- it's quite awkward sounding and redundant. This is for stations on the Eglinton Crosstown, the "Eglinton" part is a given.

Because the stop is located right next to the great land mark in Toronto!

Aga Khan Museum & Eglinton is more appropriate
The idea is to use the Aga Khan Museum landmark

It's easy to remember

Because Aga Khan Museum is highly and remarkably visible.

The name Aga Khan Park OR Aga Khan Museum is stronger than "Aga Khan & Eglinton"

Aga Khan IV is the person (and honourary Canadian) associated with both of these entities. "Aga Khan & Eglinton" sounds like a street intersection.

Like the proposal. ...but rather I would like to keep it simple "Aga Khan Museum". Repeating "Eglinton" with every station won't add to recognition of the location as it's go without saying.

This is the perfect name as the Aga Khan Museum located on this side

Wonderful name

Because Aga Khan Museum and Park is the most significant place at this location.

I would like to suggest the name Aga Khan Park.

The park has two buildings on it. The Ismaili Centre and Aga Khan Museum.

Aga Khan Park has nothing to do with religion and people will remember park. Aga Khan Museum is for the arts from Muslim Civilization and not a religious institution.

1. Lesser chances of getting lost. Name will give an idea that we are there.
2. The nearby stop's name was confusing for me the last time (1 month ago)
3. After all, it's easy to remember a famous name.
4. Aga Khan's name is also one-step further to reinforce his tie-up with our nation, Canada.
5. Using a good person's name is never a harm.
6. I have benefitted from his institutions to a great deal, 4 times in my life until now.

I support the Aga Khan name, but I highly dislike the fact that all of the eastern surface stops have "& Eglinton" attached to them. I do not feel like it contributes to the simplicity principle.

He has done a lot for Canada

Aga Khan Museum Station sounds fine

With both The Aga Khan and the institutions He has put in place, the name Aga Khan would be preferred and help reinforce the commitment that the Aga Khan has made to the city and country and in turn this would be a gentle reminder to the city's patrons and humble way to acknowledge that contribution and commitment the Agai Khan has made.

Agakhan name is globally recognized and Agakhan museum is the best land mark in North America.it has rich culture and history of centuries.It is based on multicultural,pluralism,diversity and value system.

Aga Khan name is recognized worldwide. Aga Khan Museum is the greatest landmark in North America and in the world. It has rich culture and history of centuries. It is based on Multicultural, Pluralism, Diversity, Value systems.

I like the name because it identifies a major attraction - the and Eglnton is not needed

Really confusing to have & Eglinton tagged onto the end. It's the only station with such a name and could get confusing given there's an Eglinton station already. Why not just use Aga Khan in keeping with Science Centre and Museum stations

Aga Khan Station more appropriate.

The museum park and center is a landmark. By naming it aga khan it helps tourists locate the museum as long as the stop is close to the landmark.

It's unique name and also close to aga khan museum.

This building is a great contribution to the city. It will be here forever. We have a dearth of non-anglicized station names.

Because I can see the station from far when I am travelling.it is also,a landmark.

Flemingdon Park is the neighbourhood so why not use that for the station?? Robert John Fleming was a two-time mayor of Toronto and the neighbourhood is named in his honour and also after the Don River. Aga Khan is just another wealthy patron who doesn't even live in Toronto. I'm sick of things being named after corporations or rich people - keep it local, keep it logical. Change this one!

Just "Aga Khan" would be sufficient

Because it represents the founder and creater of the museum.

Major landmark in the area, very relevant and logical.

I would vote for: " Aga Khan Park"

drop the Eglinton - perhaps consider calling it "Aga Khan Centre" which would be an umbrella name to cover all the three key landmark elements of that site namely the Aga Khan Museum, Aga Khan Park and The Ismaili Centre, Toronto. Let's remember that we will only get one chance to name this area correctly and while there are some opinions that the Aga Khan Museum is not a landmark or well visited building, this will undoubtedly change in the course of the next few years - we will be shortsighted if we don't name it in relation to the Aga Khan buildings in that area.

The name Agakhan is highly recommended as it has become so famous after Agakhan muesum is been established. considering this name is totally self explanatory.

I think just "Aga Khan Museum" is better. It's a defining landmark of the area. Also, I'm not sure I know of any stops along any of the other stops that include the line they run across in their name. Yonge & North York Centre? Bloor & Bathurst? Why would you start this trend here? It looks inconsistent.

I like but with the Aga Khan Museum nearby why not just call it Aga Khan?

I like that the stop is named for "Aga Khan", but Metrolinx really needs to rethink the idea of adding "& [Route St] to all surface stops. If you're on the Eglinton Line, it's redundant to say "& Eglinton". The [& crossroad] should only be used when the line veers off the main street (as Eglinton West might on the way to the airport) or if the route doesn't follow a single street (as the proposed Malvern/Morningside routes do).

Adding these redundant words makes the map overcomplicated and hard to read -- it'll be impossible to fit all this text on a regional or even city wide map!

Its simple to remember and identifies the landmark of the area in the area. Its logical.

Aga Khan sounds like a name of the street intersecting Eglinton. I think we should name this station "DVP AGA KHAN MUSEUM"as this is a destination landmark saying as Science Center.

It lock the landmark in for a long term vision, creates identity and promotes diversity.

It is the newest landmark in the city; is highly visible and has very unique architecture.
It will identify the high Muslim population in the area, showcasing Toronto as a multi-cultural society and will give the transit organization (Metrolinx) a chance to give back to an individual who has spent so many resources in our city in recent times; not for personal gain but for public gain. People around the world, knowing who The Aga Khan is, visiting Toronto, will associate the our city with the great things The Aga Khan has done world-wide.

I don't like the idea of using the name for a new facility that the vast majority of people in Toronto don't know about and would much prefer to use Flemingdon Park as a place name if that is what is desired.

Easy to remember

The aga khan doesn't represent our community. Its a multicultural community. Call it what it is,,,Flemingdon Park.

Because Agakhan park is located there and the Agakhan Museum is also there.

This the best name and goes along with nearby Aga Khan Museum.

Directly relates to the AK Museum on Eglinton

Aga Khan Museum Station
Or
Aga Khan Park Station
Is more appropriate

& Eglinton doesn't make sense at all... as all the stops are on Eglinton (being the crossover's route) and none has tat extenstion of Eglinton added.

It should only be called Aga Khan.

I suggest we name it Aga Khan Museum. By the time the transit will be built the Aga Khan Museum will be y well known.

Very representative of the large building and landmark.

Describes the stop correctly. Tells transit riders the landmark station

It's a no-brainer. Very obvious and identifies the location perfectly. A landmark that all GTA should be proud of.

How about
AGAKAN MUSEUM/ICT
drop eglinton

Dop Eglinton

AGAKHAN MUSUEM-ICT

thank you

1. The Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre and the Noor Cultural Centre are both next to the Aga Kahn museum ...its kind of an insult to the two longer established centres to name a station after one centre.
2. Stations should not be named after living people.
3. Everybody calls this area Wynford....why cant you use that?

don't think the Aga Khan Museum has been there long enough to assess its impact on the City my preference to name the station after the residential neighbourhood the south where 1000's live celebrate Flemingdon Park it is more relevant to its residents

Call it Aga Khan, get rid of the "& Eglinton". Alternatively, call it Flemingdon Park

Aga Khan is religiously and politically affiliated. According to wikipedia, Aga Khan is "Aga Khan (Persian: آقاخان‎‎; also transliterated as Aqa Khan and Agha Khan[1]) is a name used by the Imam of the Nizari Ismailis", and this reference may have negative connotations to other flavours of Islam, other religions, and atheists in Toronto.

I strongly feel that public projects should not have religious or political references.

Call this station "Flemingdon Park" or "DVP" instead, which is the name of a neighbourhood or the major highway.

The name is logical because it is close to the Aga Khan musem. Similar to how other stops are named after the tourist attractions near the area. This name is also Unique because there is no other road or stop with the same name which will overall cause less confusion when tourists need directions. This name is extremely unique!! The unique name will mean that it will be remembered and recognized any time.

Similar to the "Science Centre" suggestion, the museum would not be right at the station so the name would be confusing.
Perhaps, "Aga Khan Museum" (or some similar name) could be in brackets below the station name.
Similarly, the idea of renaming the Dupont Station with "Casa Loma" would, also, be confusing.

This station is way too close to the Don Mills/Science Centre station and should be removed. Just create a link bridge/tunnel from the Science Centre station.

So much for "Rapid" transit if you have to stop all the time.

More attention needs to be drawn to this new museum, its fabulous buildings and historically significant collection. I love this name and hope it encourages more locals and tourists alike to visit.

I really like the idea of using the Aga Khan Museum as a landmark in this area but calling the stop 'Aga Khan and Eglinton' doesn't have a great ring to it. The line runs along Eglinton so I think the street can be left out and call the stop 'Aga Khan Museum' or 'AKM'. I also understand that the stop refers to all the Aga Khan projects at the site so perhaps something like 'Ismaili Centre and AKM'.

This one should be Flemingdon park. that is what people know today and what represents the area. The museum is a visible landmark but has no history (as a place....though the inside has tonnes of it :) and does not resonate with many people yet.

I would suggest Flemingdon or DVP

This name doesn't make sense. It's either an intersection or a landmark, either "Aga Khan" or "Gervais & Eglinton" but not a combination of the two. Also why is there a need to add "& Englinton" to all stations east of Leslie? Not consistent with the western stations. Either put "& Eglinton" on each of them, or none of them (I prefer the latter).

Also curious as to why there is a need for a station that is so close to the Science Centre. Hard to believe politics were not involved here...

"Don Valley", "Don Valley Pkwy", "Ferrand", "Gervais", or "Flemingdon Park" is better.

DROP THE EGLINTON AND JUST CALL IT AGA KHAN. AGREE WITH OTHER POSTS. WE KNOW IT IS THE EGLINTON LINE ALREADY.

The Glass Pyramid and the Museum is visible and would also make it easy for tourists when visiting this special place. The best name would be Aga Khan Museum and for short AKM. Thanks Riyaz

The prominent visible presence of the Aga Khan Museum and the Aga Khan Park landmarks only steps away makes it the obvious choice.

The landmark represents Canadian values of pluralism

I would prefer the station to be called either "Aga Khan Museum" or "Aga Khan Park" . This would be consistent with your already established naming convention. for example Science Centre instead of "Science centre & Eglinton" station. The Aga Khan is an individual, not a street or intersection.

Seems a little confused. Aga Khan Museum would be more consistent.

If it has to reference the Museum, then I'd say "Aga Khan Museum" or "Ismaili Centre" and not use Eglinton in the name, nor just "Aga Khan" which is a title of a living person. Both are very new (if very beautiful landmarks) and I think I'd prefer the more established Flemingdon Park (to differentiate from the underground station at Don Mills / Eglinton). Plus most riders passing through the station are likely residents and visitors to Flemingdon Park rather than visiting the museum / cultural centre.
So either "Science Centre" at Don Mills and "Aga Khan Museum" at Ferrand, OR
"Don Mills South" / "Don Mills Eglinton" at the underground station, and "Flemingdon Park" at the above-ground station. I prefer the latter.

I would prefer Flemingdon Park - the Aga Khan Museum is a venue further away than the core of the neighbourhood, and less prominent.

Ferrand works just as well as Aga Khan but this will help travellers trying to find the museum.

The Aga Khan is a newer building. Not well known to the Toronto community yet. Aga Khan is a living individual. Monuments and landmarks are not generally named after living individuals. Adding Eglington seems silly. It is the Eglington line. Isn't it obvious and not helpful in locating the station. Also why another stop so close by the Science Centre stop. Waste of money? If the station is necessary for other reasons, AND there is a desire to emphasize the unique cultural attraction that the Aga Khan represents, fine, but don't add the Eglington. Seems redundant.

I like that the stop name makes reference to the nearby Aga Khan Museum and Park, but I do feel the addition of "& Eglinton" is a bit redundant, given that this is the Eglinton Crosstown. For anyone making the argument that the Aga Khan Museum is not a well known landmark - it's only been open for a year and will become more well known by the time this station is proposed to open in 2021. I think that a better station name would be "Aga Khan Park" as the station would be closest to the Eglinton entrance to the Park.

I like the reference to Aga Khan; however, it is too cumbersome to say Aga Khan & Eglinton. There is no need to say Eglinton as there will not likely be any other station with the name Aga Khan. Also, Aga Khan is a hereditary title given to the Imam of the Ismaili Muslims. It is highly unusual to name a stop or station after an individual (I don't think this has happened anywere in the GTA). Therefore, given that the entrance to the Aga Khan Park is closest to where the LRT stop will be, I suggest naming it "Aga Khan Park" station. It is simple, unique, durable and describes a prominent part of the neighbourhood. By the way, the Aga Khan Park is open to the public 24 hours a day, 365 days per year. Thanks for allowing the public to participate in this.

Ugh. This sounds like an intersection name, not a station name. Ferrand, Flemingdon Park, or simply Flemingdon. Also, the Khan is on Wynford and not visible from the stop. I don't think naming it Aga Khan is appropriate either. Not a Toronto historical figure.

Drop the "& Eglinton"

No need to incl. "& Eglinton" as all stops on the route are on Eglinton. Museum to new to know how well known it will be in 3 - 5 yrs. Is that really going to be the destination for majority of riders getting on/off at this stop?

The opportunity to leverage this stop both as a local/tourist attraction, and a simple locator name seem lost in this confusing combination of Aga Khan & Eglinton. A name such as 'Aga Khan Park' or 'Aga Khan Museum' seem so much more practical and impactful. Also, as a Torontonian, it's productive/empowering when cultural landmarks such as museums and parks are associated with transit. Thanks for giving us a chance to weigh in on this!

The museum is a prominent landmark in the city.

Dont like the & part of the name, call it Aga Khan Museum or Flemingdon

Most of the city is not at all familiar with the museum. The name means nothing to them, hence it is not self-locating for the vast majority of Torontonians. While now gone, the long standing Bata building on the site was a landmark for many and would go further to help citizens locate themselves than Aga Khan. Over-all this station is entirely unnecessary and should be scrapped entirely to save on costs. Don Mills/Science Centre is just a skip away.

Where did this station even come from? Why is it so close to Science Centre Station? Do we really need it?

Means nothing to someone who doesn't know what or where the museum is. Perhaps Don Mills/Aga Khan would be better.

Should be related to street - Ferrand Dr.

Let's say that the Aga Khan is to close tomorrow. What would the station be called? I think Flemingdon Park would be more appropriate. Don Valley may work as well. "& Eglinton" is a bit redundant as people would be travelling along Eglinton.

Maybe just Aga Khan or even better Flemo North or Flemingdon Park North

If you're going to name it after the museum, I would prefer to see the name as Aga Khan Museum.
But the museum is quite some distance away from the stop. Why not name it after the cross street?

I would remove the Eglinton, since the whole line is on the same avenue, it seems redundant.

Aga Khan is not yet well known, and refers to a single entity, not the surrounding business and residential communities, so it doesn't really meet the naming standards/qualifications you've set out. However, since the station is not located at a major cross street, using the street name Ferrand won't provide a highly recognizable name to transit users. 'Parkway' or 'Don Valley' might be more geographically relatable.

Aga Khan is a title, not a location. Aga Khan Museum would be a much better name. The cross street name here is probably not useful, as Ference is not a well-known name

it should be the Don Valley Stop

Why not rename it to have it as 'Aga Khan Museum'? That seems to make more sense

It clearly indicates where you are

Just Aga Khan does not indicate what is found there and Eglinton is redundant as it is the Eglinton Crosstown. It should be called the Aga Khan Park or Aga Khan Museum stop. Thanks

Aga Khan Museum -- drop "and Eglinton", redundant. More easily identifiable than "Ferrand" too (no one except locals would be familiar with it).

To be honest do not even know why there is a station at this site. Many people complaining about the religious aspect of the name, should remember that we have a bunch of stations named after saints. I think Museum north would be funny, the Eglinton part is a waste, my lord your on the Eglinton crosstown! Think Flemington Park works best, the neighbourhood has been there much longer than the museum and will generate more transit users than that car friendly museum.

Considering the station will be opening in 2021 The Aga Khan Museum will be well recognized landmark. No need for Eglinton.
The other choice would be Aga Khan Park.

Aga Khan Museum is unique landmark and is new. More and more visitors will want to go visit this site and is a good focal point or landmark for residents when directing visitors. The museum is also a theatre and park which will interest most torontonians (transit users) to go there since it is so easily accessible.
We should be thankful to this new addition to our city and accord it a highlight.

sounds very historical

Unhealthy precedent is set by naming a single station after an individual or family name. Has no geographical value so not helpful to navigation.

The Aga Khan centre, park and the Museum are unique buildings and park space to this part of the town. They are visible, enticing and pleasing, it will also encourage tourists who are not living in Toronto to use the LRT and travel on the metrolinx to visit this unique site similarly names like Museum on the university/Spadina line

Make it just "Aga Khan"

I prefer the street name.

Leave it as originally named.

If you think Bayview & Eglinton can be called 'Leaside' , then surely this station could be called 'Flemingdon Park' It is more central to Flemingdon Park that Bayview is to Leaside.

It's fine as long as the LRT announces it as just "Aga Khan" during trips. The full name is a mouthful to say.

Why is this station even here? It's so close to Science Centre.

I strongly disagree with the "& Eglinton" (and please, note that this is for every station with that name being offered).

Ferrand is the most appropriate name for the station.

I want to say again that I dislike the "& Eglinton" addition to the names of the surface section of the Crosstown line. I do not see any reason to distinguish the surface stations from the underground stations. The Crosstown is one rapid transit line and should be treated (and named) as such rather being given different names because it is an LRT. Metrolinx has made a commitment to build LRT lines on some corridors and should stop any practice that helps perpetuate the myth that LRT is somehow less of a transit mode than subways.

no one in the world knows of the Aga Khan Museum yet. Maybe in 50 years. How about DVP/Eglinton?

Why "& Eglinton"? Everything along the route is "& Eglinton"… so you're doing nothing to help locate the station through the name, and being annoyingly redundant by spelling it out here. What about Aga Khan-Ferrand?

The Aga Khan Museum, Aga Khan Park and the Ismaili Centre are gifts from Aga Khan to the City of Toronto. As Canadians, we need to recognize Aga Khan for his generous contribution. He is a true Canadian Citizen. In order to pay tribute to him for his dedication, commitment and his contributions, let us name it as “Aga Khan Museum” or “Aga Khan Station”.

I think aga khan musuem would be better, dropping the &I eglinton

That site has been developed by The Agakhan to be a architectural marvel in view of a highway travelled by over a million Toronto residents a day. Along with that, and the fact he is a global citizen advocating peace and the notion of plurality and tolerance make naming the station after him a fitting tribute to all that he has done, and is still doing, and for what he stands for.
