[URBAN NOTE] Four Toronto links: Scarborough subway costs, Bombardier streetcars, HQ2, North York

[rfmcdonald]

• Former chief planner Jennifer Keesmaat leads the chorus, Jennifer Pagliaro notes, arguing in favour of a full disclosure of Scarborough subway costs before the election. The article is over at the Toronto Star.


• blogTO notes that Bombardier has come up with new proposals to accelerate streetcar construction for Toronto. I suspect few Torontonians will believe in these.


• A meeting of Justin Trudeau with Amazon's CEO is tied to the Toronto bid for HQ2, the Toronto Star reports.


• An asphalt plant in North York is meeting protest from neighbours, residential and commercial, over its pollution, reports the Toronto Star.
