Banging in Toronto. GO Transit Pile-driving. Spring 2009.

GO Transit's promise that it will test less nerve-jangling construction techniques on the Georgetown rail line hasn't quieted the concerns of residents living near the West Toronto Diamond rail expansion. They have issued a deadline of Friday for GO to cease the ear-splitting, ground-shaking diesel piledriver operation that has been a daily feature of life in the Junction since January. In a letter last Thursday, residents asked the transit agency to issue a firm schedule today of when and where alternative techniques and noise-baffling measures will be in place. The construction, which involves driving watertight steel into the ground for a rail tunnel, is part of a massive corridor expansion. The diamond is where two sets of tracks intersect. If GO doesn't offer a firm commitment, the residents say they will ask the Canadian Transportation Agency for mediation in the dispute, something GO maintains isn't necessary. Residents also want GO to commit to landscaping the affected areas extensively. But GO isn't in a position to offer dates or assurances, and it won't stop construction, said Michael Wolczyk, the company's director of rail infrastructure. "We're not going to suspend the work. We need to finish it. This project has some big benefits for the community ... Every time a freight train goes over it is quite loud.

Sage Francis- Hell Of a Year

My head trapped in dear lights You can call me John, I'm writing letters to the dark side of the moon tonight My lovely Jane, you went away but the pain stayed So I'm sending you a package to the address where you traded names I made no claims on the identity theft I'm more concerned about the home with no amenities left And it's already a mess. The dust piles like your junk mail So I eat away depression and crush the scale You find yourself on the opposite side of the spectrum Emaciated on a strict diet of bed crumbs Me? I choose to wallow and I'll just swim in my fat You...refuse to swallow so I see ribs from the back This isn't an attack, it's an admission of guilt I'm living in the past, kissing your ass, sipping your milk But it's all bone and curdle. I saw stones in a circle Stood in the middle. Told myself riddles in a robe that's purple The murder weapon was an icicle Is that the reason why I'm standing in this puddle with my eyes so full? I fight feelings like a war on drugs I'm a chemist with a test tube addiction born through coffee mugs Our baby now is all growed up Your car is still dead in my driveway while I wait for the tow truck And you know what? I know I drove you away I still don't think it was wrong so I don't know what to ...
