Source: The StarAbout 70 west-enders crammed themselves, their notebooks and their misgivings into the Parkdale Library basement last night, to find out why their neighbourhood spent almost 24 hours in the dark during last week's blackout.
Be patient, they were told by a panel of city and hydro officials. Answers are on the way.
The panel, led by Hydro One director of asset management Mike Penstone, was able to explain why the city rushed to shut down the transformer station at Bloor St. W. and Dufferin St. last Thursday night.
