Toronto laneways caught in ownership limbo as they fall into disrepair: 'Layers of bureaucracy are creating problems'

The article discusses the growing issue of neglected laneways in Toronto, which are falling into disrepair due to unclear ownership responsibilities. Local residents and city officials highlight the challenges posed by layers of bureaucratic red tape, making it difficult to determine who is responsible for maintenance and repairs. The situation has led to safety concerns and declining aesthetics in these narrow streets, which are often used for commercial purposes. While some community groups are advocating for clearer policies, there remains no unified approach between municipal authorities and property owners.
