ARC's second annual "report card" on bicycling conditions and the City's efforts to promote
cycling. ARC grades the local government on its' work in areas including
street safety, deaths and injury, bicycle routes and leadership. The idea
behind this report card is to inspire the city to improve their cycling
activities, and to provide a historic record of the conditions cyclists
face on a daily basis. The grades are also intended to provoke cyclists
and government into thinking about what makes a good cycling environment.
A report comparing traffic conditions on College Street with Pender Street in Vancouver. Pender has a "floating" bike lane which means that for most of the day, motor vehicles are permitted to park in the lane and bicycles ride to the left of the parked cars. During rush hours, parking is forbidden and cyclists ride to the right of moving motor vehicle traffic. There is a proposal to replace the dedicated bicycle lane on College Street with a "floating" bike lane.

A Guide to the Toronto Transit Commission complaint and commendation process.
The TTC needs to hear about drivers who don't appear to be able to share
the road with cyclists. Likewise, cyclists want more good drivers behind
the wheel of Toronto buses, so we ought to praise the good ones also.
A press release issued by ARC on July 26, 2001 putting the City of Toronto on notice of its legal obligation to provide safe road facilities for all road users. A strikingly high number of car-bike collisions are concentrated on five downtown streets. These streets are part of the downtown east-west corridor routes which the City of Toronto has historically failed to properly serve in its bicycle facilities planning.
