A deep excavated hole on the city road allowance beside Ellesmere Road is partially filled with soil and debris, with a red/orange 'CAUTION ELECTRICAL' warning sign indicating buried electrical cable below. The exposed hole creates a tripping hazard and potential electrocution risk if the warning sign is displaced or water enters the excavation. The site requires immediate inspection and proper restoration by Toronto Hydro.
