Residents, visitors and businesses no longer have to try to find the right division or individual at the City to get information or help. Callers can get information about everything from Toronto Public Library hours of operation, to reporting a missed garbage pick-up, to finding out where the closest flu clinic is located.</em></li></ul></p> <p>How does this impact cyclists? Here are some ideas:</p> <p>- request to <a href="http://www.toronto.ca/transportation/roads/potholes.htm">fix potholes</a><br /> - request to clear bikelanes of snow<br /> - request a <a href="http://www.toronto.ca/cycling/postandring.htm">post-and-ring</a> for parking</p> <p>Do you have ideas how 311 can be used by cyclists? </p>
