The transit authority finally gave in and agreed to name the new stop Brewery Station instead of that ridiculous Plaza name. This win belongs to every one of you who refused to let them settle for such a lazy choice. Let this serve as a warning that we are watching …

Why would you name a Rapid Transit Station Plaza? It's not even on a square, but a narrow stub of a street ending in a dustbowl. Better suggestion! Name it after the local brewery building shared by three local top-notch breweries - Stone Angel, Devil May Care, and Kilter!

Woudn't you rather be able to say "my stop is brewery"?

Lets get Brewery Station on the Rapid Transit!

The transit authority cannot ignore this momentum any longer. They are trying to bury this under a boring name but we are forcing them to acknowledge the soul of our neighborhood.

I think this is a great idea and that it would probably get national press for the city if it was approved.

Brewery is a more fitting name for the stop than Plaza. Plaza Drive does not appear to be a well known street in Winnipeg, meaning that it is not much of a landmark. In addition, the name itself, 'Plaza' Drive, seems counterintuitive given the local landscape near the site. 'Brewery' better represents what is found near the transit stop. Moreover, as Winnipeg continues to build on its reputation as a growing tourist destination, the Rapid Transit corridor may be increasingly used by visitors to the city. Having a 'Brewery' station may entice visitors and locals alike to try Winnipeg craft beer, which could have positive effects on patronage to local businesses both near Brewery station and beyond.

This is so appropriate! this area became so much better with this brewery, and naming it as such would spread the word that there are local gems to be found south of the central train tracks!

Design spaces with common sense. No one will have to wonder, oh, is this the right stop? if it's plainly named to represent the area

Much like stops already around the city which are named for features rather than roads, the RT station should be named after the local business right next to it, instead of an insignificant street.
