Glad you recovered.<br /><br />And Tory's proposal is exactly the sort of thing I was worried about with the new provincial proposal. Its one of the reasons that I'm hesitant about the "big project" mentality that dominates in cycling advocacy and planning. We push for the big projects that are often cancelled while ignoring the small things (e.g. road repair and cleaning) that can get done without extensive consultation and "stakeholder" cooperation.<br /><br />Big pictures, forests and trees, and we wonder why progress is so slow...<br /><br />Thanks for the comment Selkie<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />IanIan J Slaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03904120269752700843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2224181142959730615.post-12728468293056136862014-04-22T11:09:03.520-07:002014-04-22T11:09:03.520-07:00Just began my yearly commute and almost bloody wip...Just began my yearly commute and almost bloody wiped out on filth and gravel! sighs. However, glad to be back onboard. Initially chuffed to see that the government was at least taking a step (albeit a small one) in the right direction...

At this point...I hear you fellow 2 wheeled warrior. At this point in the cycling season the thing I want the most is a horde of street sweepers to clear out the foot wide dirt pile beside the curb. That and the pothole patrol, this crazy winter has left Toronto with more spring potholes than I can ever remember.<br /><br />Thanks for the comment<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />IanIan J Slaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03904120269752700843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2224181142959730615.post-39079170642641655442014-04-18T10:35:17.768-07:002014-04-18T10:35:17.768-07:00+1 on road maintenance!
