Carlaw Avenue in Toronto-Danforth 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 pothole approximately 2-3 feet across and 6+ inches deep with standing water has formed on the laneway south of Eastern Avenue between Carlaw and Morse, with extensive radiating cracks indicating subsurface settlement or structural failure. The damaged asphalt has lost integrity and exposed aggregate, creating a tripping hazard and risk of vehicle damage. Poor drainage and water pooling suggest potential undermining of the subgrade near a nearby storm drain grate.
Description · in the reporter's words
Significant pothole damage on Lane 1 South Eastern West Carlaw (laneway south of Eastern Ave, between Carlaw and Morse).

Potholes in this laneway were marked with spray paint by city staff; however, have not been repaired/filled. Requests for service were submitted months ago.
