I think the best deterrant to " Tagging " is the Sean Penn approach in the movie " Colors ". He plays a policeman partnered with Robert Duvall who catching a gang banger tagging a wall in South Central L.A. grabs the can of paint and proceeds to " Tag " his face. Maybe the TPS should adopt that...

Can anyone give me an update on how the " War on Graffiti " is progressing?. I saw our mayor this week powerwashing a wall in a photo-op, was this just a one off stunt or has progress been made. I live in the suburbs and to date I do not see much action happening, regardless of all the rhetoric...

I would like to way in on this issue because as a lifelong and proud Torontonian it also upsets me to see this vandalism everywhere. What I can say with certainty is that every urban problem we have now is a direct result of immigration policies of the last 40 years. Ever since Trudeau cut off...

I agree, I have been saying this for years, Toronto will never be a clean city again until they address the take-out trash issue. I agree that Timmys is the main culprit although there are others, I was starting to think that the tims coffeecup was becoming Torontos official flower because I see...

I contacted mayoral candidate Rob Ford, whose ward the hotel sits in about this property. He replied that the property is being held up in the U.S. in court due to a bankruptcy case.

I am just curious, has any one seen the City of Toronto litterVacs this year cleaning the streets and sidewalks. The reason I ask this is because every year except this year I use to see on a daily basis the LitterVacs in my area. Now for some strange reason I have not see any this year. Have...

Regal constellation Does any one out there have an update on this project?. The hotel has been in a state of demolition for the last few years. I have noticed that Terresan has removed all their equipment off site and all that remains is piles of debris scattered all over the property. The...

I am just curious does any one out there know the status of this project. The plans called for 4 towers to be built, 2 were built but the rest of the site has gone to rack and ruin.

I have to agree with pinklucy. I live at the bottom end of the 427 at BrownsLine and it seems for about the past 8 years they have been working on this stretch btween the qew and 401. In that time all that was done was highmast lighting, centre concrete barrier and resurfacing of the xpress...

I want to thank everyone who has replied to my original thread re: postering. As usual a lot of great and different opinions expressed. I received a reply from the mayors office telling me that a postering bylaw is coming but no other info was forthcoming so if any one knows anything about it...

MetroMan, maybe you are right but I am 44 and I dont remember it being this bad, maybe I am getting older and noticing it more. It might also be a case of the city not cleaning up the poles also?

It seems that lately everywhere one looks be it a pole or sign there is some type of poster. I am wondering if this is legal and if not it should be easy to enforce being that the name and phone number is visible, any info?

As a lifelong Torontonian, I have said and will continue to say that for a city its size Toronto is one of the cleanest places around. I think a lot of the litter and graffiti around is a direct result of certain immigrants coming in to our city and treating it like back home. Daily I see...

Totally agree Walt , I am Alderwood born and bred and it is definetely still one of the best areas in Toronto. That is why it kills me to see this prime piece of real estate in such neglect, with the owner and tenants seemingly oblivious to everything around them. Just received word today that...

As a lifelong resident of south Etobicoke, I cant help but notice the state of neglect Alderwood Plaza is in. There are numerous vacant stores, the parking lot is riddled with potholes, there are weeds and litter along with graffiti all over, the facade of the mall is a complete disaster etc. It...

The province does have " Adopt a highway" programs but it seems to be few and far between. As regards to the previous reply regarding " Prisoners" helping out,it seems that here in Ontario we are violating there human rights but it is okay to send them monthly pensions.

While I want to thank everyone who has replied to this forum, and while I agree with the various points made regarding priorioties etc,the point I am trying to make is that a foreigner or Canadian landing at PIA and getting on the 427 is going to be greeted by an endless stream of plastic...

While driving the highways of our fair province I cannot help but notice the sharp deterioation in the upkeep and appearance. It seems to me that ever since Mike Harris took power the state of our hwys has gone south bigtime. Drive along any hwy and all you see is uncut grass, overgrown...
