[rfmcdonald]

• The Shops at Wilson Station constitute the first shopping mall owned by the City of Toronto. The Toronto Star reports.


• The delay in publishing estimates of the cost of the Scarborough subway extension until after the 2018 election is unconscionable. The Toronto Star reports.


• Torontoist bids farewell to Andy Byford, ex-TTC chair destined for what may be a tougher job in New York City.


• In a beautiful photo essay, Chris Penrose at Spacing looks at the abandoned Unilever factory and his family's history with it.
