	Spadina House - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Spadina House (built 1866) is a historic manor on Spadina Road in Toronto, Canada that is now a museum; signs directing traffic and pedestrians to the house now call it Spadina Museum.
		The house is at the southern end of the northern section of Spadina Road, on top of Davenport Hill, an escarpment which was the shore of prehistoric Lake Iroquois.
		While the house could have been sold to private interests such as the Keg Restaurant, the family decided instead to donate it to the city.

		Louise Dennys, for many years a passionate devotee of Canadian and international writing at her renowned Toronto publishing house Lester and Orpen Dennys, possessed a vision that dovetailed perfectly with Alfred and Blanche's original commitment to publish compelling books of the highest literary merit.
		For the first 18 months, Dennys, with one editor and one assistant, ran Knopf Canada from her Spadina Gardens apartment, while Random House of Canada made arrangements to move its editorial offices from Mississauga to downtown Toronto.

		The Spadina Expressway, now known as Allen Road, was proposed in the mid-1960s as part of a network of freeways in Metropolitan Toronto.
		As construction proceeded, opposition to the expressway grew among residents of the neighbourhoods in its path (NIMBYism), including affluent and well-established communities of Forest Hill and The Annex.
		The end of the Spadina was also a turning point in Metropolitan Toronto's (later City of Toronto after 1997) urban development.

		This has been an interesting week to think about Toronto’s ongoing battle for better transit and for saying “no” to every road-widening and expressway that comes down the pike. We started with the one day transit strike (covered in a separate post) that got all the attention, but three related events were far more important:
		Toronto’s planners and politicians have bowed to the political weight and supposed technical skill of the road lobby for decades despite Spadina, and despite many small gains sprinkled around town. On the big issues, the road folks win almost every time. This must change.
		Next, we need to seriously consider tearing the Gardiner down. This is an integral part of the West 8 plan, but one I suspect will be dismissed as unworkable.
