Continuing his Campus Perspectives series, Matthew Hague provides an account of\u00a0the Ontario College of Art and Design. Situated close to Grange Park and the Art Gallery of Ontario, OCAD’s campus includes\u00a0Will Aslop’s famous box-on-stilts building, which houses the design department. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Sidewalk cycling<\/a><\/p>\n

As frightening as cycling in the downtown core of Toronto can be, the one advantage downtown cyclists have is that surrounding cars are at least somewhat used to sharing the road, whether they like it or not. This is not so in many of the city’s suburbs, where cyclists can feel like one in a million. Consequently, many suburb cyclists avoid what may seem like an\u00a0immanent accident by riding off the roads.\u00a0Monika Warzecha takes a look at the prevalence of sidewalk cycling in suburbs, and on a few downtown streets.\u00a0<\/o:p><\/p>\n
