Taylor Armerding: Another traffic light on Route 1 won't cure bad ...
I don't want children or grown-ups to die. I don't want their pet dogs and cats to die. I don't even want squirrels, skunks, raccoons or deer to die. I just want what we call the "major arteries" of our road system to be more about moving than stopping. Supposedly Route 1 is also known as the Newburyport Turnpike. But that is long since obsolete. Turnpike implies that you get to drive at something like a highway speed without having to stop every couple of miles. Maybe that's the way it was. But no more. There are already nine traffic lights on Route 1 between Danvers and Salisbury - one in Danvers at North Street, two in Topsfield at Route 97 and at Ipswich Road, one in Ipswich at Linebrook Road, and two in Rowley at Route 133 and just a quarter-mile up the road at the entrance to the Rowley Marketplace.

The man, the myth, the wastebasket
Karim Rashid is one of the world's seminal designers. He has crafted Dirt Devils for U.S. discount superstore Target, skin-care packaging for Prada, the Semiramis Hotel in Athens and 2,000 other objects currently in production. We caught up with the 47-year-old at Hotel Le Germain on a stopover in Toronto, his former hometown, between engagements in Chile and Belgrade. In his trademark white suit and pink glasses, the former OCAD instructor dished to the Post's Ben Kaplan on salmon fishing in Mississauga, Expo 67 and the ROM's Crystal. Q Where does Toronto rank, design-wise, on a global scale? A All Toronto does is worry about where it stands next to another city. Toronto should not try to compete with other cities -- Toronto must cultivate its own style. Q Where is Toronto's style best on display? A The Eaton Centre, Santiago Calatrava's fantastic atrium on Bay Street and City Hall, because it was built in the 1960s' utopian period. More>>
