Personally, I don't mind "Central Station - Innovation District" (although I regret the lost opportunity of "King Victoria"!). I don't care for "Kitchener Market" (Market), Kitchener City Hall (City Hall), or "Waterloo Public Square" (Waterloo Square).
Personally I hate the word "innovation" and try to rarely use it in my vocabulary. "Innovation" has blown into the biggest buzzword of this decade - can anyone truly tell me what it means other than giving the illusion of entrepreneurial do-goodery/warm fuzzies? If an organization today wants to positively label absolutely anything they're doing, they simply say ohhhh it's "innovative" this "innovation" that - look at us, aren't we good now?? I just hope it's not something we regret naming an LRT station once the next buzzword comes along years from now.
