Toronto’s Director of Urban Design, [Harold Madi](https://twitter.com/haroldmadi), recently did a 20 tweet series on boulevards. And since [today is Gardiner East day](https://www.change.org/p/toronto-city-council-remove-the-gardiner-expressway-east), it seems appropriate to share it with you all. Thanks to Shawn Micallef for using Storify to put it all together neatly. If you can’t see all the tweets below, [click here](https://storify.com/shawnmicallef/grand-boulevard-vs-freeway).
