Some recent articles in the Star<\/em> are worth posting about:<\/p>\n

1. <\/strong>The City wants to crack down<\/a> on vehicles idling.
\n2.<\/strong> Royson James writes<\/a> about the need for money to be put into the social services of this city, not just its culutral landmarks.
\n3.<\/strong> Christopher Hume asks Toronto<\/a> to think big — like Tokyo.
\n4.<\/strong> Toronto has an archeology master plan — and its at work<\/a> at Baby Point in the Bloor and Jane area.<\/p>\n

Over at NOW<\/em>, they have three great features in this week’s issue:<\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> Mike Smith explores the street furniture<\/a> process the City is currently undertaking. He seems rather skeptical.
\n2.<\/strong> With the announcement that Toronto Hyrdo wants to blanket the city<\/a> in low-cost WiFi, there are health concerns<\/a> about what wireless technology may pose to Toronto residents.
\n3.<\/strong> A west-side bike path and trail<\/a> are in the works, but its future remains hazy as it is tied up in (surprise!) political and bureaucratic wrangling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
