Your street is probably on this list, you know it.
Bonjour from the North — three cities, one corridor, and the stories that don't make it south of Barrie.
Okay, so picture this: You're driving down Trunk Road, dodging potholes big enough to swallow a small car, or maybe trying to navigate that stretch of Cathcart Street near the old hospital. You know the feeling, non? That little burst of *tabarnak* when your coffee nearly goes flying. Well, now's your chance to make your voice heard, my friends, because CAA's annual "Worst Roads" campaign is back, and they want to know which Sault Ste. Marie street makes you swear the most.
This isn't just about complaining, though it feels good to get it out, eh? This campaign actually gets results sometimes. When enough people flag a road, it puts pressure on the city to do something about it. For a city like ours, with its heavy industrial traffic and those brutal Northern Ontario winters that just chew up the asphalt, having good roads isn't a luxury; it's essential for getting to work at Algoma Steel, or just getting your kids to school without blowing a tire.
### What This Means for Sault Ste. Marie
* **Your input matters:** Every nomination is a vote for better infrastructure. * **Safety first:** Bad roads aren't just annoying; they're dangerous. * **Local focus:** This isn't some Toronto-centric survey; it's about *our* streets. * **Community power:** It's a way for us, the people who live here, to collectively tell the city where the real problems are.
So, if you've got a street in mind — maybe it’s that stretch of Great Northern Road by the malls, or that little side street in the P-Patch that always seems to be neglected — get online and tell them. It's time we put our money where our mouths are, or rather, our clicks where our potholes are. We deserve roads that don't feel like a trip through the Agawa Canyon in a logging truck.
