Each Monday, we 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.

• Want a little sneak peak at some of the content in Spacing‘s upcoming fall/winter issue? Check out the story of Mile End’s Roerich Garden that is featured in our “Outer Space” section.

• The Sociéte de transport de Montréal has muscled out a community shuttle bus started by the town of Montréal-est. When the town stepped in to help residents get to the local metro station by providing a shuttle program to elliviate some of the pressure on the bloated 86 bus route. While it was actually helping more commuters get to the metro, STM, with lawyers in tow, descended on Montréal-est City Hall last Wednesday to stop the system immediately.

• And to wrap up your Monday morning on an artistic note, check out Spacing Montréal‘s very own Alanah Heffez’s blog-poetic debut.
