The fishing hole of choice this time is Danforth through Greektown. This is the section of Danforth where the lanes have been restriped to provide a median area. I'm sure if you looked into the report justifying the design change from back when, it would tout the ability of the median to serve as a refuge area to make midblock pedestrian crossings easier.
In response to "Roads scholars pursue all avenues in naming streets" in the Toronto Star, I think it would be beneficial to look at renaming major Toronto streets. Many street names are generic names from colonial times, often named after very obscure figures and even local estate owners.
We have the opportunity reinforce our identity as Canada's metropolis by using nationally significant figures. I'm thinking of the likes of Trudeau, Pearson, Terry Fox, Margaret Atwood, Robertson Davies, and Oscar Peterson.
Re: "Why’d cop cross the street?" I see the Sun is again waging war on "two-legged scofflaws". Sigh.
