Every Saturday, we highlight recent posts from across Spacing\u2019s blog network in Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, and the Atlantic region.

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u2022 Jenn Casey examines the details of the recently approved five-year Metro Transit plan for downtown Halifax<\/a>, including provisions for increased service to outlying areas, a streamlining of bus coverage in the core, and a year-round downtown shuttle.<\/p>\n

\u2022 The Shannon Park military barracks in Dartmouth is a dilapidated eyesore with huge potential<\/a> \u2014 as a new-thinking, sustainable neighbourhood, land for the the Millbrook First Nation, or, as Lizzy Hill reports, potentially both.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u2022 Devin Alfaro profiles the city\u2019s two longest-serving councillors<\/a>, and examines how Montr\u00e9al\u2019s party-based municipal politics affect incumbency, especially given that \u201cevery few election cycles a party will win an lopsided victory that more or less wipes the slate clean.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2022 The three Boulevard Saint-Laurent buildings in the controversial Lower Main redevelopment have been scaled down in their budget and design, but are now facing major delays<\/a> \u2014 making it more crucial than ever, says Alanah Heffez, that citizens mobilize to save the neighbourhood from neglect.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u2022 Emily Sinclair begins a series of posts that, as she writes, aim to be \u201can effort to better understand how food issues shape, and are shaped by, Ottawa\u2019s urban landscape<\/a>.\u201d She\u2019ll examine the city\u2019s historical relationship to agriculture, the rise of modern farmers\u2019 markets, and growing initiatives ranging from balcony plantings to urban farming.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Sustainability strategies consultant Tim Lash argues in an op-ed that the Lansdowne Park design competition should be restored<\/a>, and the \u201cillusory and artificial\u201d deadlines be set aside.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u2022 There\u2019s a lot to like about the new GO Transit website and trip planner<\/a>, says Marcus Bowman. But GO\u2019s use of Google Maps for the planner, and the TTC\u2019s reluctance to release its data to Google, leads to some downright bizarre routing suggestions.<\/p>\n

\u2022 In the latest installment of his GTA Lost Villages series, Sean Marshall takes a journey to Brougham<\/a>, a community rife with vacant and boarded-up houses because of a 1972 decision to build a huge airport in the area \u2014 a project that is still far from becoming reality.<\/p>\n
