PDP #279: A Car for the Street

It's times like this that I regret having dropped out of the mayoral race. Sure, the media wouldn't be paying any attention, but I would at least be able to volley suggestions, opinions, and a criticisms from a slightly more privileged perch than that of "some guy on Twitter." What defines times like this is frontrunner Rob Ford's transportation "plan" - a plan that shows us all we could fill Roncesvalles Carhouse with what Rob Ford doesn't know about transit. He wants to get rid of our streetcar system, forty years after it survived destruction at the hands of the shortsighted politicians of another era. The rails have been challenged once - maybe they'll make it through again.

Here, CLRV 4024 - bound for the scrapheap if Ford gets his way - pushes east on King Street West toward Yonge Street, with the sun at its back.
