South Bayview struggles to recover in dark

South Bayview’s neighborhoods are hard hit by the ice storm power outages. Leaside east of Bayview and large parts of Bennington Heights and Moore Park are in the dark. To the north, outages are patchy but Lawrence Park and Sherwood Park have been badly hit. Traffic signals are dangerously without power. Those who know the area will note the absence of lights at Mt. Pleasant and Moore Ave. and at Bayview and Millwood Rd. The lights at Mt Pleasant and Merton Street are flashng a four way red, which is much safer. South Bayview is dark on both sides as is Mt Pleasant. The normally busy Esso gas bar on Mt Pleasant is closed.
