Yesterday, Bike Share Toronto reached a record 36,000 trips! In addition the 14-day average is about 20% higher than this time last year. The popularity of the system is exploding, and our governments need to support a safe and connected cycling network.

I reported on the use of “G*” as a Greenbelt code word back at the Narwhal, but I definitely didn’t realize the significance of it at the time — the asterisk made it “virtually impossible” for records containing it to be found, the information and privacy commissioner has found.
