[URBAN NOTE] Five Toronto links: Sidewalk, free mass transit, Dufferin Grove, MOCA, Jane Jacobs

• Saadia Muzaffar, a member of the advisory board to Sidewalk Labs, has resigned, expressing concern over the plans for the waterfront of Toronto. CBC reports.


• Edward Keenan is right to argue that making mass transit in Toronto free is a good goal, whether or not it can be implemented now. The Toronto Star has it.
  
• While I do not live in Dufferin Grove, this neighbourhood does neighbour me and I do visit it regularly. I'm glad that it has ranked so highly on one international ranking of neighbourhoods. blogTO reports.


• Toronto Life shares some photos from the inside of the completed Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art. I'm glad to see that the promise I glimpsed on Doors Open has been fulfilled. I can't wait to visit!


• John Lorinc at Spacing >U>imagines what Jane Jacobs would do in Toronto now, faced with the Ford government. Certainly, he argues, she'd prepare for a long fight; certainly she would lead a civic resistance.
