Toronto Hydro has set up a site that breaks down their planned rebuild of electrical infrastructure more or less by neighbourhood at www.poweruptoronto.ca
This project, to my great dismay, includes installing a hell of a lot of ghastly new wooden poles, in some cases even replacing unobtrusive concrete ones, for example along Eglinton. This to me is an insult to our city and to any hope of beautifying it in a comprehensive way. Hydro has a feedback function on the site; would be good to get a critical mass of us complaining about their apparent comfort with using the ugliest methods possible for all new construction.
Mods, feel free to move this to Toronto Issues if you think merited. Thanks.
