ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
(05-22-2015, 07:14 PM)YKF Wrote: I think they should've kept the "Mall" for Conestoga Mall and "Park" for R&T Park. 'Research & Technology' sounds incomplete and awkward. Interesting to hear about the Benton stop being moved to Queen. I would've thought that Benton would provide for better connectivity with buses.

I wondered a bit about Conestoga. Their goal was to avoid naming after businesses, and malls do go out of business. I don't think anyone calls that neighbourhood Conestoga. On the other hand, for "mall", there is the other mall at the other end of the line.

"Park"? No, not really, R&T park isn't a park in any normal sense of the word, and that's a bit misleading considering that the LRT goes through two actual parks.
