  1. If only there were this many headlines everyday… great work digging these out, I come to Spacing first now instead of the Star or Globe and Mail.

  2. I wish the TTC would take care of the bus shelters. The city, despite its own guidlines, have failed to do so.

  3. Rather than enticing people to buy a Metropass by offering discounts to attractions, why not offer users discounted parking?

    You know, like they used to…

  4. the intro to John Moore’s piece is awesome.

    “…it’s a bit much to characterize Toronto Mayor David Miller’s urban transportation plan as “a war on cars.” A war on cars would involve mines, great waves of cyclists with jousting sticks and pedestrians with side arms. If one insists upon a conflict analogy this isn’t war at all. It’s an occupation and the car is the offending party.”
