I was trying to figure out the details. I’m fairly sure Queen Mary west of Macdonald is Hampstead and east is Montreal, and I know that the west side of Macdonald is CSL and the east Montreal, so where exactly was she? I did hear that all three cities kept saying to phone a different one when there were earlier complaints.

jeather, you’re partly right. From the east, Queen Mary is Montreal until Macdonald, then CSL for half a block towards Dufferin, then Hampstead. The CBC article has a photo of the roped off area, the SW corner of Queen Mary and Macdonald, which is part of CSL. CSL well knows that’s their territory, I’ve seen city vehicles there many times.

I didn’t realise CSL and Hampstead used the same street signs, which confused me. I had no idea any of Queen Mary was CSL, I thought it was just Macdonald.

Half a block of Queen Mary! Hardly room to change a street sign. What a bizarre bit of topographical tweakery.
