Is it just downtown? I was riding Stephen Ave around noon and the puddles had a different colour to them. Looked like the regular salt mixture going over the pedestrian bridge on Memorial and on the river path though.

I'm sure somebody has thought of this, but I hoping the beets don't stain all my winter gear pink!
