Toronto begins a pothole blitz this weekend following a number of freeze-thaw cycles of recent days. It will be warm through Saturday and a lovely 9 degrees Sunday. Sparrows, Jays, Cardinals and other winter birds were heard in many parts of tree-covered Midtown at dawn Friday. Like the potholes, it is a sign of Spring. According to a news release, the blitz will be the first of several that will be staged between now and April. The City has filled about 13,000 potholes so far in 2019 but that number is expected to rise significantly in the coming days and weeks.
