Martin Grove Road in Etobicoke North 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 drainage ditch between the sidewalk and median at 1406 Martin Grove Road is blocked with accumulated debris and plastic bags, causing standing stagnant water that creates a mosquito breeding ground and safety hazard. The five nearby catch basins installed in 1967 may not be functioning effectively to manage drainage in this area.
