Military Trail in Scarborough-Guildwood is a little better today because somebody said something, neighbours stood behind it, and the city finished the work. That is how this is supposed to work.

This street's story: Sites are permitted with conditions on hours, hoarding and the sidewalk beside them, so most reports here are about a condition, not the work.

The case we sent

Report details · AI-written, reviewed by the reporter

Erosion control netting is exposed and protruding along the sidewalk curb edge for an extended stretch adjacent to a decorative concrete retaining wall, creating a tripping hazard for pedestrians. The green mesh, which appears to have shifted or eroded since recent Military Trail road construction, is surrounded by dead leaves, soil debris, and accumulated mulch. This defect should be inspected by the construction contractor responsible for the Military Trail project, as the netting was intended to be buried or properly secured.

Description · in the reporter's words

Sidewalk curb fill has been eroded exposing green netting that is both a tripping hazard for pedestrians and an ecological hazard for animals. The contractors that recently completed the military trail road installation should be called back to inspect this entire stretch of road as there are many defects with the workmanship, sink holes beside sidewalk, missing guardrails, quality of workmanship is extremely low and should be examined
