Today’s Metro had a photo of Denzil M-W with one of those crosswalk signs. A cropped version is online here:

Or see one in action here:

Hmm… maybe we’d keep the money for Bixi in Toronto (some of which goes to Bixi head offices in Montreal) if Toronto ever generated and achieved an original idea. And, isn’t this just the Bixi deal that failed for this year? So we waited an extra year for the same deal? What happened? Astral Media didn’t promise enough kickbacks as part of their bike share scheme?
