The Canadian Automobile Association (CAA) has published their list of the worst roads in Ontario, and once again Dufferin was named the worst in the GTA and third worst province wide.
This is the third year in a row the street has earned the dubious distinction. Toronto drivers and cyclists are more than familiar with its patchwork of potholes and half-hearted repairs.
Bayview was ranked tenth in the province, the only other road in the GTA to appear on the list.
Taking the top two spots were Algonquin Boulevards East and West in Timmins. It holds onto its title as grand champion for several years running. Due to the regions harsh winters, Algonquin is more moonscape than road
The CAA publishes their list annually and allows the general public to vote on which roads they feel are in most need of repairs.
“It is clear from the responses across the province that better infrastructure is something that matters to motorists, cyclists, pedestrians and transit riders,” said CAA Government Relations Specialist Caroline Grech.
