We’re happy to announce the opening of The Spadina Expressway Affair<\/strong>, an exhibit curated by Spacing<\/em> contributor Tim Whalley and sponsored by the City of Toronto and Spacing<\/em>.<\/p>\n

One of the most contentious\u00a0 episodes in Toronto’s recent history — the Spadina Expressway affair — revolved around a stretch of highway. From the late 1960s until its cancellation on June 3rd, 1971, Torontonians fiercely debated the impact of a highway designed to link the suburbs with downtown and surrounding communities. The exhibit explores the competing interests, public demonstrations and community activism that surrounded the Spadina Expressway.<\/p>\n
