Arkley Crescent in Etobicoke Centre 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.

This street's story: 9 city catch basins and 5 manholes serve this block. Water that does not drain works into a seam in the road, and that is how a crack becomes a pothole.

The case we sent

Report details · AI-written, reviewed by the reporter

Extensive asphalt cracking and spalling across the road width with a large sinkhole forming along the center line on Arkley Crescent, exposing dark subsurface material and missing asphalt chunks. The road surface failure creates a trip and vehicle hazard, with aging infrastructure (catch basins averaging 70 years old) in the area likely contributing to the damage.
