Claiming that <a href=\"https:\/\/spacing.ca\/ottawa\/2010\/06\/15\/ottawa%E2%80%99s-election-still-no-narrative\/\">the  race thus far<\/a> has lacked a narrative, Captsick speculates what will  happen as the intentions of more incumbents becomes clear.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"spacing montreal\" src=\"http:\/\/spacing.ca\/media\/identity\/sidebar-head-montreal.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"44\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Citizens targeted by a CP Rail security blitz on a well trafficked  informal rail crossing between the Mile End and Petite Patrie  neighbourhoods are <a href=\"https:\/\/spacing.ca\/montreal\/2010\/06\/14\/citizens-mobilize-to-allow-train-track-crossing\/\">fighting  back <\/a>with a protest and petition. While the petition is calling for  a formalized level crossing in the area, many are content with the  status quo, minus the $150 fines.<\/p>\n<p>In the year 2000 the Quebec Government tasked the municipalities of  Greater Montreal to create <a href=\"https:\/\/spacing.ca\/montreal\/2010\/06\/17\/planning-for-the-big-picture-with-bill-58\/\">a  coherent land-use strategy for the region<\/a>, a project that sat in  stalemate throughout the decade. In a new bill passed recently,\u00a0 the  Province has sought compromise by lowering expectations and extending  the deadline further.
