TOP-5: CITY’S WORST ROADS

The Canadian Automobile Association (CAA) has released its annual Worst Roads in Ontario List and Toronto leads the list with four roads in the top-10.

Toronto's worst road - in second place in Ontario behind repeat winner Barton Street East in Hamilton - is Eglinton Avenue West, repeating last year's secondplace finish.

Toronto's next three worst roads as determined by the vote-in poll were Finch Avenue West (5th in Ontario), Steeles Avenue East (7th) and Lake Shore Boulevard East (9th). Just out of the provincial top-10 was Toronto's fifth worst road, Sheppard Avenue East.

"The 2023 CAA Worst Roads campaign provides a valuable snapshot of the roads that the public perceives

as pain points," said Teresa Di Felice, assistant vice president for CAA South Central Ontario. "For 20 years, this campaign has served as a powerful advocacy tool, initiating dialogues with decision-makers and driving positive change for safer roads across Ontario."

West, Toronto
