Description
Fire hydrant almost totally obscured by bushes/flowers. I parked there without noticing until I got out of the car; was walking away when I saw it. Had to move car to other side of street. Would be so very easy to get a nasty ticket here.

FYI This is violation of Toronto Municipal Code 851 (Water Supply)-12C as well as the Ontario Fire Code:
"(1) Every owner shall ensure that all fire hydrants located on their property or on City property adjacent to their property are clearly visible and unobstructed at all times in accordance with the Ontario Fire Code Regulation 388/97.
(2) No person shall cause or place, and no owner or occupier shall permit, any obstruction or encroachment, including snow, in front of or within 1.2 m of any side of a fire hydrant.
(3) If an owner fails to provide the proper clearances on or around the fire hydrant within 24 hours of being notified to do so by the General Manager, the General Manager may remove any and all obstructions or encroachments and the owner shall pay to the City all costs associated with the removal of those obstructions or encroachments."
