Voting is now open for the CAA's annual worst roads campaign.
The campaign, now in its 15th year, asks Ontario residents to vote on the worst roads in their community in hopes of bringing it to the attention of different levels of government.
“The annual CAA Worst Roads advocacy campaign has influenced change for 15 years,” said Raymond Chan, government relations, CAA South Central Ontario (SCO). “We are calling on all Ontarians to vote for their worst road today and join the community of drivers, cyclists and pedestrians committed to improving Ontario’s roads. We are all road users, and everyone has a role to play to make roads safer.”
Roads can be nominated for any reason including potholes, deteriorating pavement, lack of cycling, or pedestrian infrastructure or poor signage.
In the 2017 campaign, four Windsor roads were on the Top 5 list of worst roads in the Southwest Region. The region includes Chatham-Kent, Essex County, and Lambton County. The roads that made the list were Tecumseh Rd. in Tecumseh, Seminole St., Tecumseh Rd. E in Windsor and Ouellette Ave.
