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.
•As a downtown bus that mirrors Metro routes and travels through sparsely populated neighbourhoods, the 515 route in Montréal has not been living up to it’s expected potential.

• Those of you who celebrated solstice last night (and perhaps even those of you saying “whaddya mean ‘solstice’?”) might find last week’s Tree Tuesday post especially interesting as Bronwyn Chester talks about the Yggdrasill, better known as the Ash tree, the Norse symbol of the winter solstice.
