Somewhere in this city, a cyclist is going about their business who'll die in a terrible collision because Doug Ford thinks his campaign to remove bike lanes will make a great wedge issue in the next election, writes editor @JohnLorinc spacing.ca/toronto/2024/1… #ONpoli #TOpoli

Toronto to Ford: stay in your lane! Mayor @OliviaChow needs to spend some political capital to halt Ford's ridiculous veto over bike lanes, writes senior editor @JohnLorinc spacing.ca/toronto/2024/1… #TOpoli #ONpoli cc: @CycleToronto

The Ford government's deal with Therme at Ontario Place shows the area around the spa will never truly be a public space, senior editor @JohnLorinc writes. spacing.ca/toronto/2024/1… #TOpoli #ONpoli #OntarioPlace


Gotta love when @TorontoFC can’t even get the right logo on the scoreboard for the most anticipated game of the years vs. @InterMiamiCF Showing NY Red Bulls

Today, senior editor @JohnLorinc writes about the public space embarrassment that is College Park. 5 years after a major rehab, the open space at Yonge & College has already gone to seed. spacing.ca/toronto/2024/0… #TOpoli #ONpoli

The City's new #Toronto Islands Master Plan muddies the waters about improving access to the city's signature park, writes @JohnLorinc spacing.ca/toronto/2024/0… #TOpoli #ONpoli

Doug Ford & the Tories seem determined to let the Science Centre fall apart. But there's a case for adaptive re-use of the site that both the City and Province should be considering, writes senior editor @JohnLorinc spacing.ca/toronto/2024/0… #TOpoli #ONpoli


I'm one of the city's biggest boosters but I will never sing the praises of our parks & streets & urban design until our civic leaders begin to treat public spaces like an asset, not an obstacle. #TOpoli

It's summer and, yet again, there's nowhere to sit in Toronto's parks. The never-ending cycle of infantilization of Toronto residents by it's political leaders won't go away, writes @JohnLorinc spacing.ca/toronto/2024/0… #TOpoli



When Sue Ann Levy is calling you an a**hole, you're probably doing something right (also, slightly poetic that her rage tweet gets 13 likes while @Spacing's has 300+ 😂). She's all class.

Toronto’s transit agenda has gone missing, writes senior editor @JohnLorinc Even a transit-friendly mayor like @oliviachow doesn't have much appetite for altering the status quo. #TOpoli #ONpoli #transitTO spacing.ca/toronto/2024/0…


This is such a maddeningly Toronto urban design thing to do: install new benches (I like!) on a major street BUT do not allow people to actually use them just yet (for no apparent reason). #TOpoli
