Origin
Summary
Utility companies undertake contracts, and in many cases, the process leads to incomplete and substandard restoration work, as is the case in Snowood Drive (pictures attached).
Through motions and my communication with City staff, I have asked to review temporary stream utility permits. The City of Toronto has no capacity to fully supervise or fully inspect these job sites, and because these jobs are not finished to a satisfactory level, they are causing the deterioration of the City's capital assets.
