CAA stink list of roads names Bayview Avenue

Bayview Ave. is once again on the Canadian Automobile Association’s stink list in the annual survey of the ten worst roads in Ontario. Rotten and rocky as Bayview has been this Spring, however, any Grade Nine math student could tell you there are lots worse. The reason Bayview gets included is because it’s used by so many people. No people, no problem. Either that or the Bulldog didn’t pass Grade Nine. And in fairness, the wretched potholes down near Moore Ave. and the bumpy pavement in the business district have now been re-surfaced. So take it for what it’s worth. The whole stink list: That old non-favorite, Dufferin Street, followed by Stanley Avenue in Niagara Falls, Kipling Avenue in Toronto, Finch Avenue West in Toronto and Burlington Street East in Hamilton, Carling Ave. in Ottawa, Markham Road, Lawrence Avenue East and Wilson Avenue. Footnote: Just a common sense note about the media interpretation of how Toronto has the worst roads than anywhere. It’s the Grade Nine issue again. Toronto has typically bad roads like everywhere else but it has zillions more people than other places with typically bad roads. That’s how we win the prize every year. It’s arithmetic not roadwork.
