Here are a few links to articles in today’s papers:<\/p>\n

The TTC is going shopping for new streetcars<\/a>. The photo above, from Minneapolis, is the new breed of North American streetcars made by Bombardier. This is something that the TTC would consider, though the article notes that Toronto’s streetcars are special in some ways and will need specific modifications.<\/p>\n

A company called Sub Media<\/a> plans to install tunnel advertising in the Yonge subway line this fall, reports Metro News today. We have previously posted<\/a> about subway tunnel advertising during the TVs on platforms and subway debate — I think you may know where we stand on this already. This new pilot project has not reached the TTC yet for public input, so we’ll try update any other info once we have it. We are waiting on some calls from TTC commissioners for comment.<\/p>\n

Christopher Hume writes in the Star<\/em> today about waterfront renewal in the St. Catherines area.<\/a> “Toronto isn’t the only city with a waterfront. And it isn’t the only city with plans to bring its waterfront back to life. But here in Port Dalhousie, those plans may actually have a chance of being realized. Though the process has been rancorous, it will reach its conclusion when St. Catharines City Council votes on a $60 million to $70 million mixed-use scheme sometime in June.”<\/p>\n

The widow of the Mississauga cyclist who died after falling off his bike, then a bridge, is campaigning to have the height of railings be raised on all overpasses<\/a>. You can read about the memorial ride <\/a>from this past weekend and some shots of the infamous bridge.<\/p>\n

And Anthony Reinhert writes in the Globe and Mail<\/em> today about the always contentious issue of dogs and parks<\/a>. “Faced with a finite amount of parkland, relentless condo construction and a dog population between 250,000 and a half-million, city officials face a task that sounds more like herding cats — finding a way for all park users, dog lovers or not, to co-exist in peace. Later this spring, parks officials will present their best attempt at that goal — the Dogs in Parks Strategy, or DIPS — after more than a year of public meetings and research. It’s safe to expect the fur to fly.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
