sometimes the city just doesn't care. unless there is something in it for them of course
for example.
Kingston road @ Port Union has bike lanes that run for about 1km at most. Right where it starts (leading to the city, west bound) a massive restructuring is taking place. tearing up the roads, putting in new curbs, and refitting the bridge over the rouge river. they are nearing completion, and its already obvious that they do not intend on extending the bike lanes.
I emailed Dan Mcteague who sent me to Wayne Arthurs.
this might be handy...

if you are interested please let them know what you think.
they truly don't get enough feedback from the public.
they also don't really do a very good job of asking the public anything before the start doing anything either.
