Slight correction to Alice’s correction. Spacing was indeed launched under the TPSC umbrella. It was a TPSC project, like Guerilla Gardening or Art Attack. Within a year, it was decided to keep the two projects separate, but remain collaborative partners. Since 2004, spacing has been an independent magazine, with no real connection to the TPSC.

Just a correction re: Spacing magazine – it is not ‘the magazine of the Toronto Public Space Committee’. Spacing magazine’s creators were cohorts of TPSC’s founders, but the magazine was never under the TPSC umbrella.

From my own experience, I would not consider an airport rail link to be the biggest priority of any transit plan or infrastructure plan within the GTA right now.

That being said, the Transit City plan would give the option to connect to the airport via light rail transit, should one of the lines be continued that far. This would make the most sense for a rail link because it would connect to the TTC plan and at the TTC fare of $2.75.It would also allow travellers to connect to wherever they’d like to within the TTC’s network.

To be fair to the TTC, I think part of the confusion comes from the fact that Go Transit has regional busses that run to the airport and Mississaga’s transit system does as well. Also the 192 is one bus route that deserves some advertising so people actually knew it existed and the TTC was actually an option to the airport.

It sounds like this is an ill-conceived project, but I disagree with your point that Toronto doesn’t need a rail link to the airport. For many travellers, the TTC route is confusing and takes way too long. Airport shuttles are great, but only if you are heading right downtown and they aren’t well-promoted enough to make much of a difference. Toronto is way behind every other major city when it comes to accessing the airport.
