Garbage hits the Pits
Residents raise stink over plans to make Christie Pits a dump site
By DON PEAT, SUN MEDIA
Toronto Mayor David Miller and Deputy Mayor Joe Pantalone's political bro-mance may be in the pits after this strike.
Facing a revolt in his ward from Christie Pits residents furious their park is about to be filled with stockpiles of trash, the local councillor issued a statement yesterday slamming city officials, including the mayor's office, for turning the Pits into one of 19 dumps.
"Over the past few days, I have been advocating strongly with Joe Pennachetti (City Manager), Geoff Rathbone (Solid Waste Management), Richard Butts (Deputy City Manager) and Mayor Miller's office, NOT to use Christie Pits as one of the City's alternate dump sites," Pantalone stated in a release yesterday.
"Until this afternoon, City staff refused to share the 19 sites with City Councillors."
