Waterloo Regional Council has approved the names for the 19 light rail transit stops that stretch from Conestoga mall to Fairway mall.

The names aim to reflect well-known establishments or landmarks in the area of the stop, or by the closest cross street.

Council was presented with a list last last Friday and approved the names Tuesday.

Vrbranovic requested the stop at King and Victoria streets be changed to "Central Station - Innovation District" to reflect a push to brand that area as an innovation supercluster.

These are the approved names:
