Thats tough, its really hard to stop grafiti, you cant patrol the massive site

so thats where our tax money is going to.... aesthetic policing.... nice...

If ML is fining the contractors, how exactly is it our tax money going to aesthetic policing?

the act of going about and wasting resources to track and monitor their several dozens of sites just to ensure the hoarding remains black takes up time and money.
even if the amount may seem small it just goes to show the gross inefficiency and misplaced priorities ML has. theres a reason why ML projects take so long and cost so much. this is a sample of why.

To be fair the graffiti thing is an official clause included in the Project Agreement. It's just surprising that MX would take it very seriously compared to other technical aspects of the project. They have been heavily relying on their Technical Advisor (Mott MacDonald) for decision making and barely showed up to technical meetings. Some even insist on not having their name recorded in the Minutes of Meeting attendees list.

Am I correct in assuming that these new mega-lights are part of the OL? Taken 2 December.

see that proves my point in misplaced priorities and red tape.

Just looks like GO yard lights that existed pre-Ontario line work.

Hope they don't find an old drain!

Deep cut!

^Perhaps but they appear to be on the railway embankment and I have never noticed them before which would be unusual.
