The fight, today recognized as a great victory for the people of Toronto and the heritage of the city, was lead by Jane Jacobs, the legendary thinker who literally wrote "the book" on how to build liveable cities ("The Death and Life of Great American Cities"). It took time and a great deal of effort, but not only was the Spadina expressway cancelled, but the entire outlook of the local and provincial governmment was changed and other similar projects were shelved for good. I hope the brave people fighting this disaster can learn from our success. It seemed impossible at first but with enough determination it wasn't.
