I came across this today, thought it is a really cool concept that I would love to see developed and implemented in Edmonton.
In short, it is a plan to build a wide cycling path from the Edmonton suburbs through downtown Edmonton that in the winter months, is frozen over and converted into a skating superhighway.

Maybe a little unrealistic for more mild Toronto winters, but these are the kind of ideas that make cities global landmarks. It's good to see other Canadian cities looking at making the most of their winter weather.
