Marked resolved Apr 17

Fixed, and a neighbour went back to check.

Someone from this neighbourhood walked past on April 24 and confirmed the work was done, 2 days after you reported it. That is the loop closed by the people who live here.

Marked resolved Apr 28, 1:15 AM

Closed, on the record

Fixed in 2 days.

Markham Road 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.

The case we sent

Report details · AI-written, reviewed by the reporter

One white plastic baby seat/carrier has been abandoned on grass beneath a tree in a public area adjacent to a parking lot on Markham Road, showing signs of weather exposure. The item appears to be illegally disposed household waste with no indication of authorized placement. Three litter bins are available nearby with regular collection service (3-4 times weekly).
