Hi @311Toronto there is a ton of broken glass on the sidewalk at 707 College at Montrose. It is in front of the garbage bin. I’m worried about dogs and soft-shoed people passing by. Thanks!

Hi @311Toronto, I don’t know what this is but it looks like an electrical thing that is missing its cover. This is the SW corner of Crawford at College.

Hi @311 @TrafficServices what do you do when people park in the bike lane, don’t move when you politely ask them, and then yell and ridicule you? There was literally a parking spot right there!
