EXCLUSIVE: Inside the contract to rip out Toronto's bike lanes - Spacing Toronto (opens the original)
Read excerpt
After the Ontario Court of Appeal (ONCA) shot down CycleTO’s legally innovative charter challenge that sought to stop Doug Ford’s attack on the city’s bike lanes, Queen’s Park wasted little time before issuing a request for proposals in early September. The government has asked contractors to submit bids on the “project” by the end of November. CycleTO, meanwhile, has not yet said whether it plans to seek leave to appeal the ONCA decision to the Supreme Court. Spacing last week obtained copies o
Brad Bradford's glaring judgment problem - Spacing Toronto (opens the original)
Read excerpt
So, here we are on the eve of the firing of the starter’s pistol for the mayoral race, and Brad Bradford is already mired in the company-you-keep problem. Or, maybe to put it more precisely, the judgment deficit problem. Because the j-word is definitely something voters, including those who are right-of-centre but not maniacally so, will have to contend with as e-day approaches. This week’s choice example has to do with an X-post by his spin doctor, Warren Kinsella, who first opined that Mayor O
PODCAST: Spacing Radio 95, Saving Toronto - Spacing Toronto (opens the original)
Read excerpt
First: a little rant about Doug Ford’s island airport expansion plans, which have (at least for now) been grounded. Next, the book Saving Toronto: 10 City Builders Tell Us How is available now. It’s a collection of essays organized by themes like governance, transit, and housing. We asked public policy analyst Anne Golden and urban designer Ken Greenberg, who co-edited the book, how it came together, and if we can actually achieve what the title says and save Toronto. Then, David Shellnutt (The
The power of positive thinking, Toronto's version - Spacing Toronto (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I can’t remember a moment when split-screen politics was quite as pronounced as it is right now. Consider: On Friday, the federal Liberals put Doug Ford’s ridiculous island airport expansion nightmare up on blocks, thanks, in large measure to an outpouring of negative feedback — 87,000 responses to the public consultation, the vast majority of them opposed to the scheme — as well as the underlying nebulousness of a half-baked plan. Then, on a perfect summer Saturday, Waterfront Toronto threw ope
LORINC: Brad Bradford continues his 'city-is-on-fire' routine - Spacing Toronto (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’m old enough to remember when Brad Bradford’s pungent symbol of Toronto’s urban decay was the apparently misnamed Sankofa Square — according to him, a forlorn concrete trapezoid populated by addicts and the homeless, in which anxious parents hustle frightened children lest they witness acts of public depravity. Now, we’ve got an honest-to-goodness shooting calamity with which to bait Torontonians who, according to the mayoral aspirant and former Beaches East-York councillor, flock blindly into
