Montréal Monday: Failed bus, snowy photos, and Solstice trees

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. Since this route is a pilot project for a possible tramway, how will the bus's failure affect the possibility of the new, tourist-friendly tram?

• Though it may bring back some unpleasent memories of the storm that hit Toronto hard last Friday, Spacing Montréal's Cédric Sam shared some photos of how it looked over there.

• 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.
