The streets and lots of Toronto are dotted with circular metal discs. While most of us walk and drive over them daily, rarely do we stop to take notice. That's a shame really as some of them are quite pretty. While Toronto, for the most part, may lack the stand-out designs found in some other cities, our covers still have a certain charm. I'm particularly partial to the Bell Canada ones, with their pattern of hexagons. The central logo also appeals to the history nut in me. Thanks to it and a cool timeline on the BCE website, I know that this particular cover was installed sometime between 1965 and 1976.
NeaTO: While most of the city's covers are standard issue, Toronto does have a few unique designs underfoot. The very first NeaTO post back in October 2012 featured one of them - the sewer access covers in Regent Park.
