• Daily Xtra notes the sad state of repairs of the rainbow crosswalks of Toronto.


• CBC reports on Twyn Rivers Drive, a Scarborough route some say should be marked as off-limits for heavy vehicles.


• NOW Toronto reports on how Mississauga is starting to outshine Toronto in the department of bike lanes.
