You can help name Toronto's next subway stations

Metrolinx is calling on the public to help name three new TTC subway stations, and if past public naming competitions are any indication how this one will work out, you could soon very well find yourself boarding a train at Station McStationface Station.

Construction is in full swing on the Scarborough Subway Extension (SSE), a 7.8-kilometre, three-stop extension of the TTC's Line 2 Bloor-Danforth that will stretch the line from its current terminus at Kennedy Station to Sheppard Avenue and McCowan Road.

With a record-breaking diameter subway tunnel being carved below street level and work rapidly advancing on the over $10-billion infrastructure project, the public has been getting a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the ongoing undertaking through a series of open houses being held in May.

In conjunction with these open houses, Metrolinx has launched a survey allowing the public to weigh in on the names for three new SSE stations at Sheppard and McCowan, Scarborough Centre, and Lawrence and McCowan.

The survey, which is open until May 18, takes less than five minutes to complete, and gives the public a fun opportunity to have their opinion immortalized on transit maps.

You can take the survey on Metrolinx's website.
