Lavington Drive in Etobicoke Centre is a little better today because somebody said something and the city finished the work. That is how this is supposed to work.

This street's story: 10 city catch basins and 10 manholes serve this block. A blocked catch basin is the usual reason a curb floods like this.

The case we sent

Report details · AI-written, reviewed by the reporter

Water is pooling and running along the grass-to-pavement edge of the sidewalk at 74 Lavington Drive rather than draining properly, causing soil erosion, mud and debris accumulation, and saturation against the concrete. The nearby catch basins, averaging 70 years old, appear to be blocked or inadequate. The pooling water creates a slippery hazard and indicates drainage system failure in this area.
