Toronto Star

Eb Zeidler would be the first to point out: Toronto has come a long way since he moved here in 1951. But, he quickly adds, we're not there yet. Though Zeidler admits to occasional frustrations, the venerable architect and city-builder, who was presented with a richly deserved lifetime achievement award by the Design Exchange last weekend, hasn't given up the struggle for urban enlightenment. Earlier this month, the indefatigable Zeidler got himself onto the agenda of a TTC meeting to help the commission sort out the mess it created along the Spadina line between the Eglinton West and Yorkdale stations. This clearly isn't a subject on which the transit brain trust has devoted much thought; indeed, it's doubtful TTCers are even aware that the route is woefully underused.
