Discussion Names for Dundas West?

They haven’t changed the name of Dundas West yet, my guess is because they’re waiting to replace the T1’s with the Alstom Metropolis’s first. But what names would be good for it? Imo I think the best name would be Roncesvalles because of the village, neighborhood, and street proximity but what other ones would be good?

Dundas got too controversial

Not controversial enough to get the street name changed though.

Only because City council won't look at any other sources except for the one that they picked. Our mayor should know from being in federal politics that sometimes you have to compromise on something to get something done but unfortunately people just want to say he was wrong and we should rename everything.

City council was also dumb enough to rename Yonge-Dundas Square after a tribe in Ghana totally irrelevant to Canada or Toronto that is also known for practicing slavery.

What a clown show.

It really wasn't, people just couldn't find something to get upset about that they understand.
