Marathon underpass fix, sidewalk detours snarl east Leaside

The cheery Hydro One lady at upper left might as well be saying “Relax, this could take forever.” That’s because it has been well over a month since the utility wonks closed the westbound lanes of the old Millwood underpass and started digging. They’re apparently searching for something. An answer to our inquiries is pending. Meanwhile, the summer onslaught of sidewalk construction is causing things like detours off of Southvale.

Upper right are friends Paul Hickey and Lisa Barton of Today’s Menu who remind customers to pop in at the 852 Millwood store. Saturday, June 29 is the last day before their summer break. The store reopens on Tuesday, July 9. Centre right is a wonderful Citroen CV 2 dressed up for a wedding on Roxborough St. West. At left is a shot of an adjustment in the placement of the sign at Verdi Tuesday. It’s been moved higher. Below that is the UPS store in the Sunnybrook Plaza. Sneaky Bulldog sources say it will be down by Eglinton and Laird come September, maybe sooner. You wanted to know, right? Finally, that thing they just hung at the corner of Millwood and Bayview is a Scout Video Collection Unit which says it’s collecting traffic data. But is it? Be careful who you take to McSorley’s.
