Will it make a difference?: City Study
The City of Toronto has agreed to undertake yet another study. The Toronto Cycling Committee will have been in hiatus for almost 9 months when it starts up again in July 2007. The City will be asking cyclists if they have noticed any difference in the quality of life on the road between this period and the same period last year when the TCC was active. Most bets have it that cyclist will overwhelmingly respond "no".

I'll disagree. I have noticed a difference, and it's worse now. And it's getting worse still.
Yes, it was dysfunctional, but at least there was a collective forum to be ignored in. Nine months of wait is unprecedented - and this with bikes as a priority of Mayor Miller. He brought the Gardiner/Lakeshore task force into his office and absorbed that forum/outlet for citizens, so there may be an issue of control...
Meanwhile Mr. Giambrone is getting heat for trying to put bike lanes on Lansdowne south of Bloor to College btw, though it's not in the Bike Plan and it's maybe a bit less needed than east-west on streets like say Bloor. But Lansdowne is a nasty street now for biking.
NOOOOOOO!!
