Ontario's worst roads
« on: September 13, 2005, 01:51:51 pm »
Have your say.  The Ontario's worst roads website is back and accepting nominations.  It works.  Gerrard Street East in Toronto was repaved last summer because of this website.

Road quality aside, my two least favorite roads are Division Street in Kingston and Bayfield St. in Barrie. 

Both of those streets always take WAY longer to traverse than they should....

I've placed my vote.  That cursed Centennial Parkway in Stoney Creek / "City of Hamilton".  Yikes.  Horrible state of repair and vastly over-travelled.  The new Red Hill Expressway can't come soon enough!
