Curb damage due to plowing at one corner of Melrose Dr and Hawthorne Dr and on Hawthorne, right hand side if turning from Melrose Dr, just before Hawthorne Dr side street.

Public Health on the Green

Great job to the City for removing the benches on the Lower Green. It’s an urgent step in the right direction. Please urgently remove the benches on the Upper Green as soon as possible, and honestly, all seating areas on both the Lower and Upper Green including the stone benches, should come out for now.

They’ve become a serious public health risk, with discarded needles, vomit, and human waste appearing daily. People with small children often don’t realize the danger and sit there as one would.

When the Green begins to stabilize and maintain itself again, benches can certainly be reintroduced. But right now, it’s in everyone’s best interest to remove them, or, at minimum, ensure the area is sanitized daily.

Missing cover on bollard installation - extremely dangerous tripping hazard could easily break a leg

Last year (spring 2023) SCG started a 3 phase project to replace the gas lines on my street (Sherland Ave). SCG completed 2 of the 3 phases, summary below:

- Completed placing the new lines in the street
- Completed the internal house gas line
- Open, they did not finish connecting & relocating the gas meter outside of the house

I have reached out to SCG but they have not called me back.

Questions
- Do you know when SCG will be completing the 3rd phase?
- Why there has been a delay?
- Who else should I contact?

Thanks for your help with this matter.

This is a wish list request. The road through East Shore Park is an enjoyable place for bicyclists, in part because there are no cars. However, there are numerous cracks running across the road that make the ride bumpy. If the public works department cleaned the dirt and grass out of the cracks and patched them, the ride would be much smoother, plus the road would last longer.
A related improvement would be to repaint the chain across the road at both ends so it is more obvious, as it would be easy for someone to cycle right into it because they are not expecting a chain to be there. Even better, put a length of PVC pipe over part of the chain to make it very obvious.

Stone dust path in Q River Park has sunk and is hazardous due to erosion. Rain and the tide washes the stone dust into the river. This area needs to be built up and a barrier placed near the water to stop the erosion.

Stone dust path in Q River Park abruptly ends into the muddy shoreline. Path needs to be diverted inland and connect to other path along the river.
