Report Details
AI-generated, reviewed by reporter
Municipal litter bin #LR-06905 on the sidewalk at 3488 Lawrence Avenue East is vandalized with white spray-painted graffiti on the upper black panel, obscuring the "Litter" label and City of Toronto branding. The bin remains structurally sound and functional, but the graffiti defaces the public fixture.

Checked on it today and the graffiti is still there.
So why the status shows completed: Check "Track on 311" link below image and you will see it. Very strange!
I re-opened it! and sent email to them again
