Description

Where Lower Jarvis and The Lake Shore meet on the West side of the intersection, the pavement is extremely warped-almost like small hills and valleys (worn down and raised into furrows from years of heavy trucks on the asphalt) and if you're not looking down constantly, you could miss it and easily trip, especially in snowy or icy conditions. This intersection traveling north/south on the west side of Jarvis only recently became more frequently used by pedestrians, because the city finally had a pedestrian stop-light put in a little further north to make it 'safer' for pedestrians to walk straight through from the north side of the Gardiner down to the main attractions of Loblaw's (local residents) and the lakefront (tourists). We appreciate the effort but the above-mentioned portion of the Lake Shore must be smoothed over, or most certainly someone is going to trip on one of the 'hills' and fall in the middle of the highway. And they will have an excellent case for a lawsuit against the city (If they're still alive....). The following picture shows one of the 8 (eight!) bumps that pedestrians must navigate just to cross the highway.
