This year has been one of major change. But what doesn’t change here is talking about transit. It’s the return of Tricia Wood (York University urban geography professor and Spacing contributor) and Matt Elliott(Toronto Star columnist and publisher of the City Hall Watcher newsletter). They help us unpack the state of public transportation in Toronto and the surrounding region, warts and all.
We talk about restoring faith in the TTC, the battle of competing transit projects, the Federal budget, and why cars still take priority over transit in Toronto.

We speak to Melbourne Australia's Gilbert Rochecouste, founder of Village Well, about lessons Toronto can learn from his city's famous laneway network.
Tim Tompkins of the Sustaining Places Initiative tells us how parts of Manhattan, NYC was pedestrianized, and how to keep momentum beyond pilate projects.
