Joe T. started the forum topic Toronto Cyclists Union submits amendments to Comprehensive Zoning By-law in the group Toronto Cyclists Union: 5 hours, 58 minutes ago
The Bike Union is doing great work, and here's more proof.
The City of Toronto is working on condensing 43 zoning bylaws (a leftover from the pre-amalgamation days) into 1 zoning bylaw for the whole city. The draft zoning bylaw was released in May 2009 and was available on-line for review and comment.

New external post Toronto Cyclists Union submits amendments to Comprehensive Zoning By-law from the blog Toronto Cyclists Union RSS Feed in the group Toronto Cyclists Union 15 hours, 32 minutes ago Delete
Via the guidance of our solicitor Alan Heisey, the Toronto Cyclists Union has submitted the attached letter to the Planning and Growth Management Committee of City Council which is considering amendments to the City`s comprehensive zoning bylaw.
"Zoning bylaws regulate almost every property in the City. The 43 zoning bylaws inherited from the former municipalities have the same basic purpose but use many different ways to express that intent. What differs is the format, the language used and the standards found in the various zones. So work began in 2003 to create one comprehensive zoning bylaw…"

Hi everyone!
It’s the second week of February… the weather is a bit colder now… pretty seasonal for winter… but gladly the roads are still clear (which means bikelanes are too!) so hopefully we’re all throwing on a couple extra layers and cycling for fun and commuting (and commuting by bike is fun!).
Here’s the bike events [...]

"And 16% of all Torontonians use their bikes to commute to work or school. In a city with 2.5 million people, that’s 400,000 cycling commuters, more and more of whom aren’t putting their bikes away at the end of fall."
Nearly half a million bicycle commuters in Toronto!

Joe T. commented on the blog post What Colour Should Toronto’s Bicycle Sharing Program Use? 18 hours, 55 minutes ago
Gotta say I love the colour in BikeRoo’s photo… Toronto Blue! It’ll help identify the bike as an “official” bike.

Nice article about how the drier and warmer than usual winter is good for cyclists (and their bikes):
http://www.torontosun.com/news/torontoandgta/2010/02/07/12781381.html"It is a cycling paradise. The last two winters have been horrible for winter cycling, so this is just amazing,” said Councillor Glenn de Baeremaeker who cycles to City Hall from his Scarborough home year round. “I think [...]
