Extra, Extra: LRT Horrors, Friendly Fire, Paved Garden

Every weekday’s end, we collect just about everything you ought to care about or ought not miss.

On Monday, the Globe reported earlier today, Councillor Norm Kelly (Ward 40, Scarborough-Agincourt) made a last push for subways rather than LRT on Sheppard, in anticipation of tomorrow’s council meeting. He did so in the form of a flyer handed out to his colleagues; one side of that flyer is reproduced above. We are glad to see that no matter the outcome of tomorrow’s vote, the decision will be reason-based and not at all the result of fear-mongering or hyperbole.

If you see smoke rising up from High Park tomorrow, don’t fret. Unlike this weekend’s suspicious fire in the playground, this is a prescribed burn conducted by the City. It will clear out debris and dead leaves, and leave the trees unharmed.
Sad news for Kensington residents charmed by a recent pop-up garden in the middle of a broken bit of sidewalk: the garden has now been removed and the break in the sidewalk patched over.
