The “Jacob’s Ladder” rope lattice between the hands has been installed as of Thursday afternoon. Apologies for the dodgy photo.

Also - noticed this morning a machine on the hilly bits closest to Scott St punching holes in the ground. This is the first part of the aerification process golf courses use on their greens at the end of the season - https://www.thoughtco.com/aeration-golf-definition-1560740.

Will check later if they have added "top dressing"

I saw the scarves as well and I also think they're great. But since this is Urban Toronto and I need to complain about something, I will complain about the unsightly orange cones in the fountain for months on end. Surely there's a better solution for whatever those cones are supposed to be preventing (people climbing in? Not sure.)

Not that the cones represents an actual physical barrier for people who really wanted to climb it. Trip hazard? People shouldn't walk into the fountain in the first place, and if they break a leg...

The cones are certainly a Toronto touch.
