John Lorinc has an article<\/a> in the Globe and Mail today about the 35th anniversary of the cancellation of the Spadina Expressway but he approaches it from a different angle — he talks to Sam Cass, the brains behind the plans for superhighways in, out, and through Toronto.<\/p>\n

Adam Vaughan, now running for city council in Trinity-Spadina, wrote an excellent article<\/a> about being a child of the Stop the Spadina Expressway.
\nAlso, here’s a few photos from our event yesterday.<\/p>\n
