In this episode of Spacing Radio we explore the topic of elimination – eliminating jogs, reducing unsustainable quick fixes, and phasing out cash fares.
Spacing contributor Andrew Walsh tours Toronto’s newly re-aligned Queen & Dufferin intersection with Councillor Gord Perks to find out how ‘jogs’ play into a city’s street grid. Spacing Atlantic’s Veronica Simmonds takes us to Dalhousie University for a discussion on sustainable growth featuring David Donnelly and Bruce Lourie. And, Spacing’s Luca de Franco looks into the future of the Presto electronic fare-card system with executive director Ernie Wallace.
