My idea of what a Toronto street should look like. Nice and slow. Everyone still gets to where they want but with no stress. We've got everyone sharing the same space and keeping an eye out for each other: pedestrians, streetcars, horse and buggy, cars, cyclists. See folks it's not that hard to have complete streets (or this is more like "shared space"). (Thanks to Tino for link).
San Francisco is looking at how Toronto cyclists deal with streetcar tracks. The answer: not very easily. Toronto streetcar tracks have been the bane of many cyclists, both experienced and green. Being one of just a handful of North American cities with streetcars, Toronto could provide valuable information.
What can San Francisco learn from the Toronto experience? What ways can cities improve the safety for cyclists crossing tracks?
Our new streetcar?The TTC has just put onto display a Bombardier streetcar at the Ontario Science Centre and launched the website My New Streetcar to get the public's feedback on what we want in our streetcars.
