Fixed, and a neighbour went back to check.

Someone from this neighbourhood walked past on May 8 and confirmed the work was done, 2 days after you reported it. That is the loop closed by the people who live here.

Closed, on the record

Fixed in 2 days.

1 in Etobicoke North 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.
