[URBAN NOTE] Five Toronto links: sex work, front doors, Eglinton East, TTC, past subways
- Helen Armstrong at NOW Toronto writes against the crude repression, well short of constructive regulation, facing sex workers in Toronto.
- Donovan Vincent at the Toronto Star notes the Toronto controversy around the idea of having houses with two front doors, including one for a basement unit. Why must that unit’s residents be hidden?
- blogTO notes the utter absence of the Eglinton East LRT in the new Toronto transit plan.
- Steve Munro considers the poor state of planning, and funding, for Line 1 of the subway.
- Toronto Life goes back more than a century to take a look at the many discarded plans for subways. Is it comfort, at least, that the lack of good planning is a trait apparently inherent to Torontonians?
