Each Monday, we bring you some of the popular posts from our sister blog, Spacing Montréal. We’ll keep an eye open for topics and discussions that are pertinent to current public space issues in Toronto.

• Alanah Heffez recalls the pleasantness of living in Saint-Raymond but points out her disappointment in its failure to integrate commercial space on Upper Lachine road.

• Christopher DeWolf reports on a transit-complaints column in the Gazette where two sociologists say Montrealers lack transit etiquette and should be more considerate.
