Comprehending the Space of the Street
The effect of the 18m wide parking island in the centre of York St. is quite powerful in the alteration of scale of the buildings on either side. Among the taller historical buildings in the market they do not feel intimidating but maintain a sense of grandeur. However, the vista from the York steps is lacking given the rows of parked cars aren't exactly the red carpet they imply.

dear sarah,
i'm witing from an internet kiosk in the toronto airport. i suppose this keyboard is meant to be sturdy, but it is not friendly to touch-typists.
the section is a straightforward but/and insightful way to understand the street. i'll look forward to seeing you tomorrow.
