From crumbling asphalt to potholes to poor signage, the annual Canadian Automobile Association's Worst Roads campaign to influence local and provincial governments to fix damaged and aging roadways is now open for voting.
From crumbling asphalt to potholes to poor signage, the annual Canadian Automobile Association (CAA) Worst Roads campaign to influence local and provincial governments to fix damaged and aging roadways is now open for voting.
In 2023, Algonquin Boulevard East in Timmins earned the not-so-coveted first place in CAA’s worst roads in the region list – for the second year in a row. Fielding Road in the Greater Sudbury community of Lively was second, Premier Road in North Bay third with two other Sudbury streets rounding out the top five.
Some Timmins residents told CTV news that they feel Algonquin Boulevard still tops the list.
“I helped encourage people to vote for it to be the worst road, keeping it on there,” said Timmins city councillor Steve Black.
“Since that time, we’ve got some funding and are starting to chip away at the large amount of work that needs to be done.”
North Bay residents taking a walk or driving down Premier Road are frustrated with the pothole problem.
