I found this article on the weekend that you may find interesting.

There was also a big piece in the Globe over the weekend about opening up government to participation, called Toronto 2.0 (groan).
Also, Hume’s article (the first one in the list) is encouraging — if the TTC is flexible enough for Will Alsop, it bodes well for the new stations. But why does Hume have to fill half the article with his boilerplate about how backwards we are? I’d rather read more about Alsop or the other architects.
