Out of sight, out of mind: the parking lots by Sir Casimir Gzowski Park and Sunnyside Park—the City's two temporary waste drop-off sites just off Lake Shore Boulevard West—have undergone a slight remodelling over the past few days, just in time for this weekend's nearby Honda Indy. The blue fences that enclosed the garbage being dumped at the site, hastily installed two weeks ago, are now all draped in calming translucent blue, a cheap and hasty Band-Aid that, as far as we've been able to figure out, no other dump sites in the city have gotten. Torontoist photographer Christopher Drost caught photos of the newly completed coverings on Thursday; an employee would neither confirm nor deny that the draping was put up for the car show this weekend, but, according to Drost, "said it made it look nicer for those driving along Lake Shore and the highway." Sort of?

We're not sure what the City's nineteen new waste drop-off sites'll be when they're announced today, but our money's on at least these three parking lots: the set around Ellis just south of Lakeshore Boulevard West, George Bell Arena's, and Étienne Brûlé Park's. The group—tracked down and captured for Torontoist yesterday and today by photographer Christopher Drost—have all sprouted bright blue fences around them, and as of this morning, one, Étienne Brûlé Park, is already accepting solid waste (securely wrapped) and organic waste (emptied into a bin on-site), but no recycling.
