Cambridge wants to build new sidewalks on two streets to fill gaps in the walking network. Edward Street (between Jardine and Strathcona) and Preston Parkway (between Woods Lane and Fountain Street South) would get connected sidewalks. Construction...

Transport Canada wants to set fine amounts for violations of marine liability and abandoned vessel laws. Right now, there's no clear penalty schedule. This would tell shipowners and oil transporters exactly what they'd pay for breaking the rules.
Why This Matters: Ever seen a rusting ship abandoned in a harbour? These rules help prevent that. They also cover oil spills and hazardous cargo accidents. Clearer penalties mean polluters know the cost of cutting corners.

Macro Properties wants to turn a vacant downtown lot into a temporary surface parking lot at 147 3rd Avenue South. The site is zoned for downtown commercial use, but parking lots need special approval. If granted, this would be a stepping stone...
Why This Matters: Live or work downtown? This could add more parking spots nearby. But it also means a vacant lot stays a parking lot instead of becoming housing or shops. Downtown residents may have views on whether more surface parking helps or hurts the neighbourhood.
