Okay, so Steeles was recently designated as one of the worst roads in Toronto...


How could possibly have gotten worse. I almost bent my rim this morning as I was coming to work this morning.

I thought I read somewhere that it is the worst street in Ontario! I know it's just ridiculous both east bound and west bound, just east of the DVP. I tend to drive under the speed limit if I have to drive on Steeles, and really, I try to completely avoid it all together.

Carling Avenue in Ottawa is in the top 3 I think also.

Which pothole did you hit? I know there is some sort of a hole there where for a sewage line?? I just know its some sort of metal hold there and it ALWAYS bugs me on the leftlane on Yonge and Steeles going east on my way back from work. I drive Steeles everyday and find it faster than Finch so I don't know where you got that from Jeff but I lost a hubcap (and a few others did too) on my mom's 98 Camry hitting a huge pothole near Splendid China Tower which was fixed after last year.

I know EXACTLY what you're talking about. That dip is evil!

Driving on Steeles going west from Warden to Woodbine in the most right lane is like off roading...without the off road...

Steeles Ave is perfect for Street Racing.

More like Autocross Dodge the Pot Hole.

Carling in Ottawa is #10.

Weird, Limebank is #4, but it's a LOT better than Carling. And at least 2 other streets I can think of off the top of my head.

Did anyone see the stretch that they are repairing around Bayview? Talk about a mine-field.

Thats exactly what I am talking about...

With 18s and Eibach Prokits, it is bumpy to begin with, but that stretch by the underpass is starting to look like a bad quilt.
