Joe T. posted on the forum topic Woonerf: It's Dutch for smart city-building in the group News: 1 hour, 59 minutes ago
Here's a PDF of the West Donlands Plan.
Page 3 (the 7th page in the document) has a bunch of renderings – which are a little fuzzy – they are done in watercolours, it looks like.

Great images of woonerfs.

Take the 2-second poll and show candidates like Rossi that they're wrong in thinking that Torontonians don't want/need bike lanes on arterial roads!
Click on http://www.insidetoronto.ca, scroll down (almost to the bottom) and look for the poll on the left-hand side.

I really hope they actually pull this off in Toronto. It's so hard to imagine this city doing anything "progressive" like this, but our best chance of making this a reality is to do it in a newly developed neighourhood (much easier than changing existing street layouts).
On a related note, I think we missed a [...]

"The really big news in Toronto right now is that woonerfs are coming to town. In case you don't speak Dutch or happen to be a planner, woonerfs are streets designed for cars and people, but with precedence given to the latter.
What? you may well ask: Pedestrians given precedence over drivers? In Toronto? Is this [...]

Duncan H commented on the blog post My New Ride: Globe Haul 16 hours, 55 minutes ago
Hello Nando,
Urbane Cyclist http://www.ucycle.com 416-979-9733 and Broadway Cycle http://bikedepot.com 416-531-1028 both carry Globe bikes. However, I’m not sure if either shop has the Haul model in stock. They would be able to order one in for you though. It looks as though it would be possible to mount the Live rack on a Haul. Both [...]

Joe T. posted on the forum topic Smitherman would pause Toronto's bike plan in the group News: 22 hours, 20 minutes ago
Toronto Life has a little blurb on this. Smitherman does make note that Rossi's thinking on the matter is, essentially, backwards.

Proposals range from adding chairs to parks to becoming a province
http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/article/779208"On bike lanes, passionate opinions emerged from drivers, cyclists and everyone in between.
There were the usual comments about cyclists who don’t obey traffic rules and drivers who deliberately edge their vehicles closer to the curb, squeezing out cyclists. There were also calls for separated bike [...]
