Request the Ontario Line Station at Pape and Cosburn to be Named East York Station - by Councillor Paula Fletcher, seconded by Mayor Olivia Chow

Known as Canada's only Borough, East York continued as an semi-autonomous municipality until 1997 when the Government of Ontario amalgamated seven governments into the new City of Toronto. On March 3, 1997, residents of Metropolitan Toronto held a referendum on the idea of amalgamation to which East Yorkers strongly demonstrated their support and commitment for retaining East York's own local government. The East York Foundation and East York Hall of Fame have jointly submitted an ask to Metrolinx to name the Cosburn station as "East York". As a City, Toronto has a number of Toronto Transit Commission and Metrolinx named after former municipalities that made up Metropolitan Toronto. These include Toronto Transit Commission stations North York Centre and Scarborough Centre. The newly created Eglinton Line has stations called Forest Hill and Leaside. Toronto City Council can recommend to Metrolinx and the Ontario Ministry of Transportation to name this stop after Canada's only Borough (East York) given the strong community pride that's existed for over 100 years.
