Fixed

Marked resolved Apr 8

Fixed, and a neighbour went back to check.

Someone from this neighbourhood walked past on April 7 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 7, 2:10 PM

Closed, on the record

Fixed in 2 days.

Ossington Avenue in Spadina-Fort York 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.

Report details · AI-written, reviewed by the reporter

A large dead tree with bare branches is leaning diagonally across the public sidewalk in front of the commercial storefront at 176 Ossington Avenue, obstructing pedestrian passage. The tree is structurally unstable with brittle, leafless branches that pose a falling hazard and tripping risk to pedestrians.
