Some weeks ago when the third piece of concrete fell from the Gardiner Expressway in Toronto, I was thiking of writing to the newspaper and suggesting that someone is not doing their job if it has gor to this stage. I would have thought that after the 1st piece fell, a survey of the whole expressway soffit would have been undertaken as soon as possible without delay, given the known chloride contamination of the concrete and its history. When the 2nd piece fell a few weeks later, that was surely confirmation that such a survey was urgent. When the 3rd piece fell surly it was apparent that this probelm was a danger to the public and was ongoing. Now a 4th piece has fallen.
I must ask: how was the maintenance allowed to be so negelected as to reach this stage and why was the reponse so slow? Am I being unfair or do others see it the same way? Just interested. Public safety is at stake. How many more pieces will fall until someone is injured? I guess Toronto city council prefers to deal with banning plastic bags than with public safety.
