Cracked and heaving sidewalk panels
This is the kind of break that catches a toe or a stroller wheel, steps from Forest Hill Collegiate Institute.
Fixed, and a neighbour went back to check.
Someone from this neighbourhood walked past on March 23 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 Mar 23, 1:22 PM
Closed, on the record
Fixed in 2 days.
Chaplin Crescent in Eglinton-Lawrence 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
The sidewalk crossing near the elementary school on Chaplin Crescent has a deteriorating pothole that's filled annually with temporary asphalt patches that break apart into loose gravel—creating a hazard for children as debris is scattered by vehicle tires. The defect collects water during rain, forming puddles that obstruct the crossing. A permanent repair is needed to ensure safe passage for pedestrians, especially children using this school route.
Description · in the reporter's words
Big pothole on the crossing leading to elementary school. Each year they fill it with shovels of asphalt and then they come off as gravel on the road creating hazard for children as they are thrown by force by car tires. When it rains, it's a big puddle.
