I feel like someone has to make a spider map of Toronto’s cycle track/multi-use-trail network to highlight how disconnected it is.

This is incredible - I love the stylized look! How did you create this? It feels clearer than other maps I’ve seen of Toronto’s bike network.New to Urban Toronto - I'm a local cartographer.... Yes, frustrated with lack of connectivity with the network, I created this map that shows level of protection (by thickness)
Hey, Thanks! I used to make actual transit maps, so this is my trusted template - glad you like the look....This is incredible - I love the stylized look! How did you create this? It feels clearer than other maps I’ve seen of Toronto’s bike network.
Aside from mechanics, a couple of thoughts:
* What are “Major Connection Points”?
* In my (very personal) opinion, purely signed routes should not be included.
EDIT: I totally misunderstood something. The “Major connection” refers to the oval intersection between two routes. Scratch that question. Does that imply a bike-protected intersection? Or just two routes intersecting?
This is a masterpiece, probably the best-stylized bike map I've seen. Do you have a higher quality version or pdf? Some of the smaller text is a bit hard to read.New to Urban Toronto - I'm a local cartographer.... Yes, frustrated with lack of connectivity with the network, I created this map that shows level of protection (by thickness) with a conceptual subway map type line coding... sort of a blueprint for moving forward - filling in the logical gaps. Not complete as so much has been added recently. cheers

Aww, Thanks! much appreciatedThis is a masterpiece, probably the best-stylized bike map I've seen. Do you have a higher quality version or pdf? Some of the smaller text is a bit hard to read.
This is really nice.
Sure thing - This sort of thing I imagine could go in tandem with aggressive road markings to help people navigate their desired "line". By all means share away! I would love to take this further... I did one for Guelph too - would love to do more.Welcome to UT, @andrewmaps; and thank you for that excellent contribution!
PS, do you mind it I share it with a few people?
I think there are a couple of City Councillors, among others, who would really appreciate it!
Send it to Stephen Holyday and his ilk. Maybe he will be less hostile to cycling infrastructure when its disguised as an expansion of the subway system!PS, do you mind it I share it with a few people?
