That mural on the Parkside Student Residence is an interesting splash of colour. Is it new this year?

I believe so, from either this year or late last year.

Are those just weeds on the rail tracks or did they actually plant some grass or moss on the tracks?

That's interesting. You don't usually see governments planting weeds.

There are a few left (probably 20% of the total parking lots we had 25 years ago), but they are quickly being replaced with new projects.

Compared to what you see in most NA cities, they also tend to be fairly small in size. It's surprising to see a few among historic buildings in the old town for example, but I suppose it's not that simple to put together a project there that respects heritage standards while at the same time being commercially viable.

Great pictures, SkahHigh!
I can't wait to see the impact of Banque Nationale and Victoria-sur-le-Parc from this angle.
