velo-city

Working in the area of sustainable transportation, I get all sorts of cool anecdotes about related topics delivered straight to my inbox. This morning a great article from this past weekend's Toronto Star was there waiting for me.

The article discusses Toronto architect Chris Hardwicke's vision for a network of elevated cycling pathways throughout the city. His vision would have a series of pathways that are completely enclosed and link major hubs around the city. The pathways could be used year round and would allow users to escape the elements, while travelling at speeds of approximately 50 km/h. The plan is not as outlandish as it may seem and has been around for some time now. Who knows what could happen in the future.
