From the desk of the bike union, there's a survey on the maintenance of the Martin Goodman Trail (waterfront trail) through this last winter. Fill in the survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=2YB5Jp2tFqQzWsyEj4aB3Q_3d_3d

Toronto is considering converting a popular bike path that runs along the North side of Lakeshore Boulevard East into parkland. This point isn't to change the bike path, but to change the city's influence in the area. It's all part of a strategy to oppose the Walmart being planned for this part of the city.
Soon you'll be able to take a bike path right through the Etobicoke Creek running through Pearson Airport, the National Post reports.
We recently received a question from a reader:
On the Martin Goodman Trail - do pedestrians walk on the right side of the trail, facing the same direction as the cyclists? Or do pedestrians walk on the left, facing the oncoming cyclists, as I was told by a friend yesterday. Please settle this discussion for us!
This issue comes up with any heavily used multi-user path. What do you think is best for cyclists and pedestrians?
The regular Martin Goodman Trail users must be aware of this one already. Not far from the famous bollards at the Boulevard Club, you'll find, hopefully while avoiding it, the stub of an damaged bollard.
The Toronto Star's "The Fixer" is taking this one on.
IBikeTO user Anthony submitted this story to us from the Victoria Times Colonist: Bike Town USA. The writer, John Lutton, a cyclist from Victoria, visited Madison, Wisconsin for the Pro-Walk, Pro-Bike conference. He was impressed with what he saw.
Last night, I stopped in at the open house for the Edwards Gardens and Wilket Creek repair plans. The damage from the August 2005 flooding of the park still hasn't been repaired, and as I learned last night, the damage goes beyond just the bike path. Repairs to the bike path are planned, but not going to happen right away.
