Look at that photo again and tell me that having ANYONE—let alone seniors—be able to walk so close to an active construction site WITHOUT A SIDEWALK TO WALK ON is something that SHOULD be allowed! C'mon Lloyd, you've said some stupid stuff before but this is right up there at the top. Do you think construction can be all done in a day? Or maybe the risk of falling construction materials is preferential to that of the minor inconvenience requiring people cross on the other side of the street where construction is NOT taking place?
Spot on Lloyd! Where your mother fell, not only was the blocked handrail an issue, but the terribly designed steps continuous along a sloping walkway as the starting point. That is the perfect recipe for anyone of any age tripping. Looks cool though NOT
Total lapse of society! We have “technology” but cant get the “living”’part right! 😂 USA is a JOKE!
Sounds like Toronto has some big problems.

I worry about my parents. I’m afraid to tempt them out of their house to do things with me. But they cant just stay home all the time either.
