[URBAN NOTE] Five city links: Kingston, Montréal, Longueuil, Halifax, Edmonton

[rfmcdonald]

• Kingston is working on its third bridge connection up the Cataraqui, this one well upstream of other bridges. Global News reports.


• CityLab praises the redesign of the Bonaventure Expressway in Montréal into a boulevard, noting the revivification of Griffintown produced as a result.


• The new Québec government is open to a further extension of the Yellow Line subway into Longueuil, apparently more open than it is to the the Pink Line in Montréal proper. CTV News reports.


• Is a CFL stadium and a team in Halifax viable? Much depends on a bid that is as much about the standing of Halifax as a major centre as anything else. Global News reports.


• The new Capilano branch of the public library system of Edmonton looks lovely. Global News shows the location.
