Sidewalk billboards about a City that can’t stop spending

billboards 3

The appearance in recent months of a large sidewalk billboard on the southwest corner outside Tim Horton’s is evidence of a City government that can’t stop spending.  The billboard is purportedly a direction-finding aid of some sort (Mt. Hope Cemetery, Sunnybrook Hospital etc) but nobody believes that. These billboards are about imposing dangerous obstructions on the curb of a busy street just to make a buck. Drivers hurtling south on Bayview (and they do hurtle) are now be able to ponder the glory of the Audi. Motorists may or may not also make a guess whether there’s a pedestrian lurking behind there somewhere.
