Twitter, Toronto, the TTC & Me (and you)<\/a>
\nShawn Micallef reviews the marriage of transit and technology in looking at how Twitter is used track the TTC.

Dylan Reid recounts a meeting between the City and the Toronto Pedestrian Committee about the encroachment of sidewalk space by new transit shelters. City staff addressed concerns over narrower sidewalk clearways, a result of the latest installation of new street furniture.
