Toronto subway station tiles

Toronto subway station tiles: "The original Toronto subway tile colour scheme was generated by combining a number of background colours with four trim colours. The result was one of subtly varied unity, offering just enough difference between otherwise similar stations to avoid confusion. The regular pattern in the colour scheme went unnoticed by most subway riders."

These paintings, normally acrylic and oil on masonite, explore both the dignities, and the failures of man-made and natural structures, and draw whimsical parallels between what is sometimes thought to be two separate and colliding worlds. The style I have employed, of breaking up forms into shapes, is both of aesthetic interest to me to create a playful atmosphere, and an indication of the tendency of natural and technological structures to break apart and reformulate

TTC - Public Consultation

TTC - Public Consultation: "What can I do? From August 27 to September 10, we are asking Torontonians what kind of TTC they want — for today, and for the future. You’ll find our survey online, and on buses, streetcars, and subways. We’ll be handing them out in a station or mall near you. We haven’t abandoned our vision for better transit, but riders have to choose. Will we support our transit system so that it is properly-funded and able to meet riders’ needs, or will we accept a TTC with less and less service? It’s a choice we have to make together"

. HIDDEN CITY:

One way to get a different perspective on any city is to see it through
the eyes of people who have disabilities. What's it like to get around
if you need a wheelchair, if you're blind, or if you suffer from mental
illness? What kind of help is available, from sidewalk ramps and
"singing traffic signals" to clinics and support services? This week on
Hidden City, host Nick Purdon looks at the disabled city. Head out with
him - and see the city in a whole new way. That's on Hidden City,
Saturday morning at 9:30 am (10 NT) on CBC Radio One.

Steve Munro’s Web Site � Blog Archive � Wheel Trans Woes: "the Wheel Trans system. For years, this “service” has been a distant second class operation within the TTC. It has all the earmarks of a service provided by the City not because it wants to, but because it has to. There are long-standing problems with the vehicles and with the dispatching system, some of which are only now being addressed."
