The Star has started putting articles for the next day’s paper in the afternoon and evening, so things are falling through the cracks:
The Fixer: Mystery of the ‘monolithic sidewalk’ revealed [ Toronto Star ]
Nobody in Rosedale seems to know that the 5th Jarvis lane was going to be removed for pedestrians. Cyclists had nothing to do with the 5th lane reduction.
Or maybe I’m wrong, maybe the Rosedale crowd is protesting narrowing sidewalks to put in bike lanes…
Transit has been a safe cut for years… for example, the Eglinton West subway.
Can condo buildings claim the tax credits on Metropasses they give to their residents? In that case they are basically free.
