\"Playing<\/a>
\n4<\/span>Public transit workers okay strike mandate: ‘Bargaining tool’; Might walk if wages remain frozen in ’07<\/a> | It’s a safe bet there will be snow on the ground when city drivers walk out<\/a>. A couple of perhaps-premature scare stories about the idea of a public-transit strike.<\/p>\n

4<\/span>Montreal transit cards sidelined<\/a> because (oh, Montreal!<\/em>) they were too confusing to people. The six-trip cards won’t be sold again until September.<\/p>\n

4<\/span>Most cycling accidents are preventable, trauma doctor says<\/a> | Be prepared to take a header<\/a>. A couple of follow-ups on the story I posted the other day about the cyclist being dragged under a car on St-Denis.<\/p>\n

4<\/span>Municipal trucks grind up streets<\/a> | Municipal trucks grind up streets: Overloaded. City fined $16,000 over two years<\/a>. It’s funny to think of government departments fining each other, but it’s alright by me. I see city vehicles engaged in questionably-legal activities (parking on sidewalks, for example) with some regularity.<\/p>\n

4<\/span>Dansez dehors!<\/a> Spotted at Montreal City Weblog<\/a>, some notes about outdoor dancing that takes place around the city, including the Tango Festival.<\/p>\n

4<\/span>Welcome to eclectic avenue: Paysages \u00e9ph\u00e9m\u00e8res espaces publiques. Mount Royal Ave.’s PEEP festival fuses art with everyday life on the street<\/a>.<\/p>\n

4<\/span>Le centre-ville paralys\u00e9<\/a>: A piece about how summer festivals gum up traffic in the city centre. I have to admit I have a hard time feeling too broken up about this. Public transit in the core is fantastic so it’s difficult to understand why able-bodied folks are inclined to drive right down there.<\/p>\n

4<\/span>The bagpiping busker<\/a>: a cute profile on a busker whose sound definitely doesn’t please everyone.<\/p>\n

4<\/span>Canal cleaning, anyone? While others play, \u00e9co-Quartier group channels its efforts<\/a>: \u00c9co-Quartier Louis Cyr’s “Gar Barge” event endeavours to clean up the Lachine Canal, one soggy piece of garbage at a time.<\/p>\n

4<\/span>The dirt on composting: Fourteen Years into it, I’ve learned a few things about how to turn kitchen garbage into a nutrient-rich spread for the garden<\/a>. Some possibly-useful insights on urban composting.<\/p>\n

4<\/span>Les revendeurs font la loi \u00e0 Berri-UQAM<\/a>: This one comes from the “well, duh” section, you could say.<\/p>\n

4<\/span>Voies ferr\u00e9es: Ottawa cherche \u00e0 r\u00e9duire le nombre de suicides<\/a>.<\/p>\n

4<\/span>Manifestation au square Saint-Louis: Des citoyens se plaignent des camions<\/a>. I lived on the square for a few years around ’98-’02 and never had a problem, but new condo projects in the area draw the big trucks. It probably seems even louder because of the echo across the square.<\/p>\n

4<\/span>Plateau-Mont-Royal: d\u00e9ficit de 2 millions \u00e0 combler<\/a> \u00e0 cause du dernier hiver neigeux.<\/p>\n

4<\/span>Careful!<\/strong> Heat and humidity warning for Montreal<\/a> with a Humidex of 40\u00b0C for Tuesday. For those of us without a\/c, remember that libraries, theatres and malls are always goosebump-inducingly cold. I’ve chosen this chilly picture for you to meditate on. Sometimes in the summer I romanticize winter \u2014 sick, isn’t it?<\/p>\n
