Each Monday, Spacing will bring you some of the popular posts from our sister blog, Spacing Montréal. We’ll keep an eye open for topics and discussions that are pertinent to current public space issues in Toronto.
• In Keeping the streets alive in the winter, writer Christopher DeWolf celebrates Montréal’s cold-weather public space attractions — including Montréal en lumià¨re, Féeries du Vieux-Montréal, skating at the Old Port, and snowy climbs up Mount Royal.
• Beaminster, Bradford, Campden: three odd streets traces the history of a trio of hidden gems in the Cà´te des Neiges neighbourhood. These pedestrian-only laneways sound similar to Toronto’s Kensington Place.
• Montreal vs. Toronto: battle of the bus transfers! highlights a post on a blog titled French Panic comparing Montréal’s cryptic, dots-and-arrows transfers with Toronto’s information-tastic strips. The question: are transit receipts indicative of a city’s character?
