The Public Works Committee is discussing (pages 25-27 - PDF file) a bunch of new bikelanes on June 3rd. They come to 24.1 km in total.
Here is the list:
The General Manager, Transportation Services, recommends that:
1 City Council approve the installation of bicycle lanes on the following roadways:
a. Bellamy Road North, from Porchester Drive to Brimorton Drive;
b. Bloor Street West, from Mill Road to Beamish Drive;

2. City Council approve the installation of contra-flow bicycle lanes on the following
roadways:
a. Argyle Street, from Northcote Avenue to Lisgar Street, from Dovercourt Road
to Ossington Avenue, and from Shaw Street to Givins Street;

Here is a Google Map of all the proposed regular bikelanes (red) and contra-flow (allowing travel on one-way streets) bikelanes (green):
It looks like the city is trying to make bicycle travel in the west-end of downtown a little easier, with little bits of contra-flow bikelanes connecting up popular cycling streets.
