• Slow down! That was the message voiced by the Public Consultation Bureau of Montreal’s report regarding a $167-million dollar real estate development<\/a> planned for Montreal’s historic Main at Saint-Laurent and Ste-Catherine.\u00a0 After receiving over 30 memoirs and a petition, the Bureau has decided that more time is needed before a final architectural concept is chosen.<\/p>\n

• Bronwyn Chester takes a look at the nut tree that named an island<\/a>.\u00a0 Who would have thought that the native beaked hazelnut, really only a bush that grows no more than three metres high, is the reason behind the name of \u00e0\u017dle aux Coudres, a large, inhabited island in the St. Lawrence River.<\/p>\n

• Mysterious footsteps along with “Réclamez un passage<\/a>” have been stenciled onto a dangerous intersection in the Villeray neighbourhood.\u00a0 They raise the question of why more traffic-calming measures like the many in use in the Plateau district aren’t more prevalent in other areas of the city.<\/p>\n
