[URBAN NOTE] Four links from the GTA, from heightened flood risk to mass transit news to Brampton

[rfmcdonald]

• Torontoist notes that, between climate change and development, Toronto faces serious flood risks in the future.


• Ben Spurr notes in the Toronto Star that, come September, Metrolinx will oversee 3% fare increases on GO Transit and the UP Express.


• I am unsurprised to learn, again from the Toronto Star's Ben Spurr, that the TTC has won an award recognizing it as the best public transit agency in North America.


• Fatima Syed notes that Brampton, with its newly hired urban planner, is in search of a new identity.
