Original Toronto Star caption: Skid road residents are a highly visible group in Toronto's downtown parks during the warm weather; often soliciting from tourists and passersby. It is estimated that skid road's population is about 3;000. Several churches operate hostels and offer free meals; and some hospitals have detoxification programs. But transients usually are left on their own; often sleeping in alleys and lanes.
