Back in October 2012 this blog featured as its first post a sanitary sewer cover designed for the then-new Regent Park redevelopment. Almost 600 designs were received as part of a design competition held by Toronto Culture from which three winners were chosen. This cover, designed by DeMuth Flake, was the winner for the storm cover design.
