Albany Avenue in University-Rosedale is a little better today because somebody said something and the city finished the work. That is how this is supposed to work.

Report details · AI-written, reviewed by the reporter
An active excavation pit on the public sidewalk is exposing soil and utility infrastructure with only a red traffic cone and metal utility cover marking the work area. The open pit creates a trip hazard and blocks pedestrian passage, with no apparent safety fencing beyond the single cone, leaving pedestrians vulnerable to stepping into the excavation or tripping on cover edges. This appears related to a collapsed utility cut in the area.
