Interesting. Seems like a very easy fix with the usual anti bird spikes.

Went by this afternoon for a few pics. The first two are from the old 3 bananas structure beside Churchill.
Inside the shelters smell awful.
I wish smoking was prohibited in front of the library. So many cigarette butts and stained sidewalk blocks. Looks dirty and grimey.

Welcome to Edmonton and our new LRT!

You think this is bad, you should see the gull disaster at Seaworld in San Diego. Those flying rats nailed me twice, once each on two different occasions. And there is a section of downtown Los Angeles affectionately known as "Pigeon Poop Pass". Where there are pigeons there is poop. I have read that birds have no control over their bowel expressions and therefore the results are frequent and indiscriminate. I was told that it is God's entertainment mode. Wouldn't it be fun if they could be trained to target certain people in formation bombing.

Is TransEd responsible for cleaning under the p3 contract?

Operations and maintenance, yes.

Should be a simple enough thing for them to address.

Use 311 to report lots still. Helps get stuff sorted.

Given TransEd's incompetence, I fear they can't even organize a piss-up at a brewery.

I did use these pics to report on 311 along with the graffiti on the library sign. The cases are still open.

Is anyone really surprised??! No matter who is responsible for the clean-up, the lack of overall civic pride in this city is the status quo. It's disgusting and shameful. Look, for example, at the stretch of JasperAve redone with the fancy lights et al. The bases look like crap now.
Ditto for any of the fancy landscaping efforts the city undertakes. It's soon overgrown by weeds with the planted trees and shrubs left to die off.
Or how about when utility work is done and decorative concrete pavers and replaced with asphalt, ruining the aesthetic? Where are the standards?
City hall is more concerned with building new things and patting themselves on the back at ribbon cuttings vs maintaining and upkeeping what we have.
Same for the private sector. It grinds my gears to see an area around a Tim Hortons look like no one cares vs that of a Tims in Vancouver, where things look pristine by comparison.
Go to many of the new neighbourhoods and see how awful people keep their landscaping.

So true. The amount of friends I have who are like “I would never live in a condo or townhouse. I want a big backyard.”
Then these are literally their backyards:

Even though Costco is practically in their backyard, that fencing and hill will prevent any walking from ever taking place.
