Curious about the 2008 implementation of the Bikeway Network (the bikelane part of the City's BikePlan)?

If you don't know what the Bikeway Network is, here's a very good description from the City's website:

Principle:
All Toronto residents will be within a five minute bicycle ride to the bikeway network.

Objectives:
The City of Toronto will:
* Complete the bikeway network in 10 years;
* Ensure the safe and comfortable year round operation of bikeways through design, signage, enforcement and maintenance; and
* Connect Toronto's network to bikeways in adjacent municipalities.

Here's what has happened in regards to the Bikeway Network so far, and what is planned for the rest of the year, and all streets linked go to a GoogleMap of the bikelane (thanks to Anthony from the Toronto Cyclists Union for forwarding the information to me):

The installation of bicycle lanes on Rogers Road has just been completed. These lanes, approved by City Council in the Fall of 2007, extend from Old Weston Road to Oakwood Avenue, a distance of 2.6 kilometres.
