It looks like the summer’s high temperatures and humidity have sparked a lot of talk about the Waterfront these days. Today, Christopher Hume has an article in the Star<\/em><\/a> about the ever-controversial plan to drop a new power plant in the portlands:<\/p>\n

If there’s a quick way to kill a neighbourhood, even before it has been built, this could well be it. Who would want to invest — or live — in a development located next to a large industrial complex?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Meanwhile, a few days ago another Star <\/em>article weighed in<\/a> on the Docks vs. Islanders debate which sparked a huge number <\/a>of comments here on the Wire. Another article<\/a> in the same paper contains what I consider to be the most intelligent discussion of the problem so far. A sample:<\/p>\n

Finally, Now Magazine<\/em> launched their “Water” issue last week. There are articles on Toronto’s lost rivers<\/a>, aquatic wildlife<\/a> in the city, the wall of concrete condos<\/a> in the central harbourfront, and a host of other topics. There’s some great reading for the daily commute.<\/p>\n
