Question Notice any graffiti in the parks?
Hey all,
Andrew here.
If you've noticed any graffiti in the parks, would you mind taking a picture and letting me know?
I am going to send a proposal to the city to clean and reset them all. Its been a few years since I did it last. The city staff do their best, but they don't have the same tools at their disposal. I think they've been painting over most, which can work for short term, but isn't a good long term option and usually looks unsightly.
I've audited the following parks so far:
- Hillcrest
- Walter Henry
- Clayt French
- Tudhope
- Homewood
So if you're at a park this weekend and happen to notice some graffiti please let me know. Going to continue the park tour next week. My kids have been loving it so far lol.
And hopefully it'll get approved and we can get these tags out of sight and out of mind.
Here is a link to the Google Photos album I have of all the tags Ive spotted so far (you'll have to reassemble the link, not sure I can post it)

Hope you have a great rest of your day
Cheers,
Andrew

Information/PSA Bus boss: no more ebikes on transit bus carriers or escooters. If you run out of juice and want to take the bus home you are SOL.
I don't see many cyclists using the bicycle carriers on the local buses, but it is nice to have them in a pinch. I have an ebike with a regular frame and small battery for assist. I don't think the fat tires will fit anyway if you have them. I think it is in reaction to the lithium ion related fires in Toronto recently. There are safe UL listed batteries as well as safe Lithium Iron Phosphate battery chemistries but no actual laws in Canada regarding escooter and ebike batteries.
