Report details · AI-written, reviewed by the reporter
A catch basin on Gerrard Street East is heavily clogged with debris, leaves, dirt, and pigeon droppings, blocking the metal grate and preventing storm water drainage. The adjacent sidewalk curb joint has similar heavy accumulation of debris and droppings, creating a sanitation hazard and posing a flooding risk during rain events.
