Brown crud swirling
The sign says " A city within a park" What is really there. An open, unfenced, storm sewer water treatment facility next to a kids' playground. And in Toronto, as we have often been told, when it rains, the crud we that flush down our toilets often flows into the storm sewers. Next to the kids' playground. Sounds like New Deli. And not in a good way.
Green Crud Floating
One hopes at least that the splash pad down stream in the section below Queens Quay uses drinking water rather than the effluent from that storm sewer. But hard to tell.
Foam on the water
Now, on a warm Saturday there were no children in sight, even though this is touted as a community place. Not surprising since the nearest residential area id a mile away belong a set of railway tracks and the hated (!) Gardiner Expressway. But, in contrast to the government run waterfront development agency's public pronouncements about this being the antithesis of the rest of the waterfront's wall to wall condo edge, huge signs next to the open sewer proclaim "condos coming soon". Who wouldn't want to live next to that? And have their kids play in that?
