There is a motion on the agenda of the April 9th Public Works and Infrastructure Committee PWIC that asks City of Toronto Staff to report on a measure aimed at improving snow clearing from the City of Toronto's bicycle lanes. This is the result of a discussion at the The Toronto Cycling Advisory Committee (TCAC) meeting of March 17th, 2008. The measure being considered is:

...enforcing a temporary "No Parking" policy along designated snow routes, for key roads or key portions of major thoroughfares, preceding forecasted snow storms, in order to provide motorists ample notice to not park on the designated roads and to facilitate the clearing of snow right to the curb, thereby providing cyclists with sufficient space to ride safely on the designated road.

The TCAC will follow up on this at their next meeting on April 14th. Committee members have been asked to come forward with a list of priority bike lanes that should be kept clear of snow.
