Waterfront Toronto took a warranty walk through Sherbourne Common last week. There were about three dead trees which will be replaced by our contractor. (This total is actually low compared to the normal die off one can expect with new projects.) Please note that the Beech trees along the east side bud later than the maples etc. This may give the initial impression that the trees are dead….but they are not.

Any reason why you guys couldn't clean the water channel before you turned on the water? Shouldn't we expect that as a standard procedure? What was the point of putting in an attractive paving design in the water channel, if we can't see it due to dirt? You guys do realize that children frequently play in that channel. (even though it is officially prohibited)

Is this going to be a yearly occurrence? (the same thing did happen last year)

They're using granite setts, not bricks. Waterfront Toronto has raised the bar for paving design to almost where it should be. (We ought to have more granite and brick-paved roadways, granite mosaic and interlocking sidewalks, and granite curbs on our streets.) The only compromise from them so far is poured concrete curbs and crosswalks at intersections--which are compromises because the roadway is paved with fine concrete pavers.

It is great to get 'official responses' on UT but I would say there are more than 3 dead (or very sick) trees in both the north and south Sherbourne Common but more importantly there is no sign of any replacements being planted yet and tree planting season is drawing to a close.

Furthermore, though the water feature sculptures were running for a week or so they have again been turned off. At one time there was mention of them running all year but at least they should be on all the time in summer.

The high quality bike path design is now asphalt? What happened to the warm beige colour, the pot lights, and the bed of foliage lining it?
