[URBAN NOTE] Five Toronto links: term limits, TTC and the Ex, downtown vs suburbs, pothole, King St

[rfmcdonald]

• At Spacing, John Lorinc argues that the poor record of Giorgio Mammoliti in dealing with the needs of his voters in Ward 7 is a good argument for term limits municipally.


• Transit Toronto takes a look at the routes used by Torontonians to visit the Ex, the CNE, and the history of these routes.


• May Warren suggests that the oversimplified "Three Torontos" paradigm, dividing the city cleanly between a well-off downtown elite and marginalized inner suburbs, is an oversimplification, over at the Toronto Star.


• CBC's As It Happens reports on the fact that, in a pothole at Rathnelly and Poplar Plains in South Hill, someone has planted tomatoes. Will the repair crews wait until they ripen?


• Ilya Bañares notes that data from May and June from the King Street pilot project suggest ridership is up and transit times down.

1. That guy ought to be shown the door. Soon. Maybe, despite the Ford regime's meddling, it'll finally happen?

4. Would tomatoes grown in such a venue be safe to eat?
