[URBAN NOTE] Five Toronto links: Presto, TTC, Ontario Place, 411 Church, homeless death

[rfmcdonald]

• CBC Toronto looks at some of the structural problems with the Presto card as it now exists. (I've been lucky, I acknowledge.)


• CTV reports that the provincial government report on the proposed uploading of the TTC from the City of Toronto to Ontario has been kept secret, such that no one in Toronto knows what uploading actually means.


• Edward Keenan notes at the Toronto Star that it is simply wrong that nothing can be salvaged from Ontario Place in its current incarnation, that there is in fact much that is good with it.


• The new condo tower on 411 Church Street is nearing completion, acquiring a "beehive" texture. Urban Toronto reports.


• CBC Toronto tells the horrifying story of the death of a homeless woman seeking shelter from the cold who got killed climbing into a clothing donations box at Bloor and Dovercourt.
