Happy Fourth of July everyone! Streetsblog will be taking tomorrow off and returning on Monday.

Have fun with the cookouts and fireworks, rest your eyes and we'll come back next week ready for the Tom LaBonge era as he steps in as Acting Chair for the Transportation Committee. Try not to panic, LaBonge will be acting as chair until the committee assignments are shuffled after the election of the Council President later this month.

Oh, and for those two readers who link to Streetsblog through a Toronto bike blog, a belated Happy Canada Day to you.
