The case we sent
Report details · AI-written, reviewed by the reporter
Standing water is pooling across the concrete sidewalk under the Gardiner Expressway at Yonge Street, creating a significant puddle in the pedestrian pathway that forces people to navigate around it; the pavement is structurally intact but drainage is failing, with water not flowing toward nearby catch basins or storm drains, creating a trip hazard and accessibility barrier for pedestrians.
Severity High
Description · in the reporter's words
Every time it rains the passage on yonge under gardiner does not drain properly so pedestrians have to jump Over a puddle
