Howland Road in Toronto-Danforth is a little better today because somebody said something and the city finished the work. That is how this is supposed to work.

The case we sent
Report details · AI-written, reviewed by the reporter
A continuous gap and depression approximately 2–4 inches deep runs along the street-to-sidewalk edge at this location, creating an uneven walking surface and tripping hazard. The depression shows erosion and settling with visible dirt and debris accumulation, likely caused by subsurface settlement or water management issues related to nearby catch basins and sewer infrastructure. The gap extends the length of the visible street section.

Street basin is entirely blocked with dirt and debris. Entire curb is full of debris. Similar on most streets throughout the immediate area.
