• Matt Elliott at CBC Toronto suggests that Toronto has a fiscal crunch ahead, needing to spend more than 30 billion years on various projects over the next decade without knowing where the money will come from. Why is this not more of an issue?


• Enzo DiMatteo at NOW Toronto takes a look at election-related news in Toronto, among other things noting that the campaign of Jennifer Keesmaat does not seem to be taking off.


• The 504 King streetcar route will be split into two, to allow for better traffic flows. CBC reports.


• This 2017 Spacing article on the failure of the pedestrian movement in the Yonge Street Mall is enlightening.


• Katherine Taylor at NOW Toronto writes about some remnants of the past of Toronto, in buildings and signs and neighbourhood memories.
