  1. Oppose. The common name, as seen on signs, is 242nd Street–Van Cortlandt Park. Platform signs place the "242 St" first and in larger text, and entrance signs omit the "Van Cortlandt Park". The MTA itself is inconsistent, using both orders and sometimes only "242 St". News articles, when they include the "Van Cortlandt Park" portion, almost always place it aftor "242nd Street". This includes a New York times article from last month: "Mr. Koppell agreed, saying that every night at the 242nd Street-Van Cortlandt Park subway station,..." --NE2 20:32, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Support. NE2, the issue here is the en-dash vs. hyphen, not the order of nomenclature components. Save the name order for another discussion. Larry V (talk | e-mail) 20:37, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
