Path would be Heaven

PRECIOUS: Big-ticket infrastructure items are fine, but one reader would be happy with simple kerbing and guttering and a footpath in her street. Picture: Robert Rough

WHILE I'm pleased to see the work at the Toronto waste management site, I couldn't help feeling gutted. I realise the work is necessary to accommodate the council's new environmental program, but I'm jealous of the newly sealed roads with kerbs and gutters. I live on Lake Street at Blackalls Park, a mere 15 minutes walk to downtown Toronto, and our street doesn't have a kerb, a gutter, or even a much-needed footpath. I, and the other hundreds of residents of my street, have to constantly dodge traffic every day to walk on our precious little strip of bitumen. Oh, just a path would be heaven.
