\"feature-spacingsaturday-600\"<\/p>\n

Spacing Saturday is a new feature that highlights posts from across Spacing’s blog network in Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, and the Atlantic region. Spacing Saturday replaces the weekly features Montreal Monday and Toronto Tuesday.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u2022 Public space activists in Toronto cheered this week as City Council voted to implement a new bylaw and tax on commercial billboards<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Spacing Toronto<\/a>‘s Shawn Micallef<\/a> writes about the “overwhelming” experience<\/a> of visiting Richard Serra’s hidden and mysterious “Shift” sculpture unusually located in an empty field near King City (a small community just north of Toronto).<\/p>\n

\u2022 John Lorinc<\/a> explains the value of preserving two historic and iconic Toronto structures<\/a>, Canada Malting towers on the waterfront, and the decommissioned airport hangers at the former Downsview airforce base.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u2022 Spacing Ottawa<\/a>‘s Tonya Davidson<\/a> writes a fascinating piece<\/a> about the portrayal of masculinity and femininity in the 70-plus statues and monuments that dot the nation’s capital.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Empty for the past 17 years, Ottawa’s Ogivly department store<\/a> remains a well-loved historical landmark. Spacing Ottawa<\/a>‘s Chris Warden<\/a> looks back at Ogivly’s historical place in the city and what might be in store for its future.<\/p>\n

\u2022 A multi-part series focused the effect of a new intensification project<\/a> in the Island Park neighbourhood started this week on Spacing Ottawa<\/a>. The first post of the series (which will follow the experience of neighbourhood residents and environmentalists Chris Henschel and Allegra Newman) outlines the details of the intensification plan and the concerns of current the residents.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u2022 Montreal’s City Council recently approved the construction of two 32-storey towers<\/a> near the corner of Guy and Sherbrooke streets raising the ever-present urban debates around intensification, neighborhood preservation and architectural integrity.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Montreal’s new City Council<\/a>, met for the first time this week since the November 1st election. Devin Alfardo<\/a> examines the dynamic of this new city government.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Communauto<\/a>, the Montreal-based car share service and the oldest network of its kind in North America, enters into its 15th year this year and is still going strong with over 20,000 users and a fleet of 830 vehicles.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u2022 The historic York Street Railway Station<\/a>, a Fredericton landmark whose future has been in question for years, is finally getting restored. But the proposal to turn the “beloved” (but dilapidated) station into the central flagship location for New Brunswick Liquor has been met with mixed reaction.<\/p>\n

\u2022 The construction of a giant plastic waterfall<\/a> in the Halifax suburb Spryfield, brings community members together as more than a hundred residents participate in the project.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Funding approval for yet another transit study in Halifax<\/a>, has Spacing Atlantic <\/a>Contributor Alex Boutilier<\/a> wondering whether City Council is more committed to studying its transit problems then to solving them.<\/p>\n
