Public Realm Maintenance

They look like tree wells but I see rebar so maybe this 'improvement' is to properly repair the concrete so that the poor police can park there more easily! I do not think there were ever trees there in the past and actually assumed the police garage was below the 'plaza'

There never seem to have been trees there in the past, here is 2016 Streetview

Right but this appears to be something new. It's a blur now but I recall there being a public consultation on a new plaza. It was before the pandemic so it's kind of lost in the last two decades that have passed in the last 6 years.

Here is the history https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/to...cle_1e569cb7-84c3-55d1-8719-a19c78f83453.html

It is in Ausma Mallik's Ward, you could ask her? Councillor_Malik@toronto.ca

This is just the most entitled hypocritical display of why people dislike the police. The age old question remains: if the police police us, who polices the police?

If police cruisers and their civilian vehicles were ever to occupy the plaza again, I’d be tempted to park there. “Nobody has complained about my car being here” I’d claim and dare them to ticket me and not the police vehicles illegally parked there.
