Need to mellow out roads in Toner 2012 #67

Let's see if we can get back to Geraldine's initial design work in Toner, where the zoomed-in roads are delicate and light, instead of thick and black.

Compare the road work:

http://maps.stamen.com/toner/#17/-34.92279/138.59317 to http://maps.stamen.com/toner-2010/#17/-34.92279/138.59317

http://maps.stamen.com/toner/#16/-34.9228/138.5932 to http://maps.stamen.com/toner-lines/#16/-34.9228/138.5932

Single, thin lines on edges of roads, instead of thick black fill.

I'd also suggest Geraldine work specifically on #15 to get the right balance: http://maps.stamen.com/toner/#15/-34.9228/138.5932

Also, noting that using so much black doesn't print as well: http://studio.stamen.com/citytracking/blog/node/36

14 and up look lovely!
