I missed posting my regular "Morning Crank" round-up of interesting news and links, so here's a nice afternoon edition for you. :)

Toronto mulls tax on 'big box' retailers, gas stations

Toronto city hall is considering an idea of forcing some businesses — including so-called big-box retailers and gas stations — to pay higher property taxes because they encourage car culture.

CityNews: Councillor Wants Ban On Rush Hour Delivery Trucks

Similar restrictions are in place for New York and London and Walker wants City Hall to approve the same ban for a one-year trial period.

The Better Way to School

Did anyone else get the feeling this morning that it's the calm before the storm? This was our final weekday of commuting before the streets are packed with post-Labour Day cars.

A Better TTC Survey

Our reinvented survey has two pages: the first features the same questions as the TTC's own survey, though they have all been tweaked; and the second page features a handful of questions that the TTC left off of its survey altogether. We've assembled it with the help of transit advocates Steve Munro and Joe Clark, as well as Torontoist staffers Chris Tindal, Jonathan Goldsbie, and Val Dodge. The survey is entirely anonymous, and all twenty-seven questions are optional. All told, completing it should take less than five minutes.
