Station Name
Since the Spadina extension had been first drawn up, the TTC proposed "Vaughan Corporate Centre" as the station name and this is the name that the TTC still today uses in all their construction references. A Viva stop at the site of the station has the same name. On September 30, 2010, a TTC committee recommended that the name be changed to "Vaughan Centre", despite the City of Vaughan's request that it be named Vaughan Metropolitan Centre. However, the TTC delayed a final decision on the committee's report until February 2012, when Vaughan's preference of the full name was adopted.. The TTC originally rejected the name to avoid branding it to a specific development. As well it would be long causing inconvinience when conveying it. Additionally "Vaughan Centre" is more consistent with other regional centre station names (ie. North York Centre and Scarborough Centre). A survey was conducted between September 23 and October 21 of 2011 by the TTC to determine the preferred name. 80% supported "Vaughan Centre", 5% supported "Vaughan Corporate Centre", 9% supported "Vaughan Metropolitan Centre" and 7% supported another name. Other discussed names were "Highway 7", "Highway 7 West", "Jane North", "Edgeley", "Creditstone", and "Applewood"'.
