The mind boggles. Does it keep functioning when it ices over in winter? Wouldn't it be safer, and look tidier, in a decent cabinet? Public utilities ought not be left naked like this.

It keeps functioning, TLC, until the ice gets so heavy that the lines fall down. Burying the lines would save the city considerable expense, but progress in that has been glacial. Glacial -- I see what I did there.

The contrast, John, between the architecture and the technology is very striking. Happy May Day!

Thanks, Joe. Technology may have anticipated the Bauhaus here.

A great tangle of wiring, John. Shades of SE Asia wires!

Back when that building went up the pole probably had a few more crossbars on it, too.

All this overhead wiring looks very anarchic, almost like a Favela. Do you know if anyone has a "map" of the wiring plan? Or do they just wait until something goes pop and then rush out to have a look and figure out what goes where?

I'm sure most Torontonians believe they don't, Andrew, or that the map is wrong. Toronto Hydro seems pretty efficient after icestorms, though. The transit commission, however, is different. Their renovation of St. Clair West station was stalled for months because their wiring plans were wrong.
