This street's story: 40 city trees serve this block. Roots are the usual reason a sidewalk lifts, which is why the city counts the trees along a block.

The case we sent

Report details · AI-written, reviewed by the reporter

Sidewalk heave and erosion caused by tree root damage spans approximately 2-3 metres on Dufferin Street, with concrete cracked and raised, exposing soil and visible roots running diagonally across the walking area. The uneven surface creates a tripping hazard, and active erosion continues around the root system.
