From Derek at BlogTO as a response to Sgt. Tim Burrow's Top 10 list of driver complaints. (BlogTO is good at these lists):

10 - The close pass

9 - Lack of bike lanes

8 - Cars parked in bike lanes

7 - Potholes

More buildings in Toronto are being built with less car parking, and most are finding that they just don't need it. The mainstream media highlighted a new condo no car parking on the site of the Royal Canadian Military Institute. The developer needed to get a special exemption from the city even as the city's planners opposed it. It's not the first development with little to no parking in Toronto.

The bike lanes on Annette and Dupont are almost complete and Jerrold of BlogTO has gave his impression of the "narrowing" of Dupont and Annette from a recent drive along Dupont.

Have your say on Toronto's draft zoning by-law. You can comment on it online or in person at one of the open houses. Why is this important for cyclists? Most of us pay property taxes and buy/rent homes that incorporate the expenses of building parking spots for cars. The old by-law had car parking requirements that were often much higher than the need.
