\"Montreal<\/a>Night flights to end over Laval, St. Laurent<\/a>
\nThe agreement, made in 2006, was to merely test night flights over those areas, and the airport has decided not to continue. Lachine will still be seeing the flights until a decision is made there.<\/p>\n

When I first moved to Quebec I lived in Ville St-Laurent, a couple of blocks from Cote-Vertu metro, and while regular flights from YUL stop between 1 AM and 7 AM, when they passed my windows would rattle. I don’t think I’d want planes landing right over my head all night, but then, I’m a notoriously good sleeper.<\/p>\n

When I was flying to Los Angeles this past spring I sat next to a guy who’s been working in the aerospace industry for 15 years and who had some interesting stories. He told me that the noise ordinances are so strict in San Diego and the airport so close<\/a> to residential neighbourhoods that all planes flying out of SAN have to take off at half-power. He assured me that this is perfectly safe.<\/p>\n

I live in Little Italy these days and I’m always surprised by the steady stream of incoming flights passing from the east in the evenings, but when you think about it our airport is not crazy far from the city proper.<\/p>\n

If we could just get some decent public transit to YUL…<\/p>\n

Citizen’s arrest<\/a>
\nA witness to a stick-up in Outremont yesterday made a citizen’s arrest of the perpetrators, three young men. One of the men had shot one of the victims with a pellet gun. I must admit this is the first time I’ve heard about a real citizen’s arrest; I’ve only ever heard the term used jokingly. I’d like to know more about the logistics of that. Should one shout “This is a citizen’s arrest!” while making said arrest?<\/p>\n

On public transit, we take back seat to Toronto’s York Region <\/a>
\nA Gazette columnist extols the virtues of York Region’s transit service<\/a> with a little too much enthusiasm. (He doesn’t seem aware, for example, that STM buses also do dropoffs between stops<\/a> for women at night.)<\/p>\n

Some escaped bees at large <\/a>
\nWhile not really about public space, I had to link to this kind of hilarious story about 12 million “angry” bees being accidentally freed on the Trans-Canada in New Brunswick. (I think I’d be angry if I got stuffed in a box and then dumped off a truck, too.) I wonder how they recaptured them?<\/p>\n
