@BlairScorgie @cityoftoronto How about we commit to prompt ferry replacement and invest in the expansion of shore infrastructure at Jack Layton Terminal. Bridges and gondolas are distractions from underfunding and neglect of existing infrastructure and would divert funds from where they are needed most.

A piece in @Metropolitics_ of my research on Hanlan’s Point Beach as social infrastructure.
Neoliberal urbanism poses grave threats to nature and people. Ahmed Allahwala considers how activism to save Hanlan’s Point Beach, a site for 2SLGBTQ+ life and history as well as a sensitive coastal area, can inform preservation struggles. @ahmed_allahwala
