This week: lots and lots about empty lots

In The Grid:

• Back in November, I wrote about the stretch of Queen Street West, near Bathurst, that burned down in 2008; now, a scoop: at least two of the three remaining vacant lots that have yet to be rebuilt are about to be.

Here:

• I crunched some data to find out where bike accidents happen most frequently in Toronto, or at least the reported ones.
• That map of Toronto residents’ associations and neighbourhood groups got itself a half-dozen new groups, with about a dozen or so more to come, thanks to some people who’ve been spreading the link across the city.
• I republished two articles of mine that first appeared in the Globe: this one, about a tiny synagogue that’s about to go big in Forest Hill Village; and this one, about a street art piece by Banksy that’s disappeared.
