Carling Avenue retains title as Ottawa's worst street

[guest]

We can all agree, Carling Avenue is terrible.

It’s bad enough to, once again, warrant the top spot on CAA’s annual list of Ottawa’s worst roads.

Whether it’s potholes, congestion or a cycling nightmare, the main artery stretching from Kanata to the Glebe has earned its rightful place according to those who voted.

Ottawans voted for Carling Avenue more than any other street.

Some spread the hate on social media.

Here’s the full breakdown.

Ottawa’s top five worst roads:

1. Carling Avenue
2. St. Joseph Boulevard
3. Renaud Street
4. Main Street
5. Hunt Club Road

But, there’s a silver lining to all this. Ottawa avoided the shame of making it onto the list of 10 worst roads in the province — recognition that has been bestowed upon Carling Avenue six times. Last year it ranked fifth.

And hey, at least we don’t live in Timmins. It made this year’s list a whopping three times.

See how other cities stacked up.

Ontario’s top ten worst roads:

1. County Road 49 — Prince Edward County
2. Algonquin Boulevard West — Timmins
3. Balmoral Street — Thunder Bay
4. Algonquin Boulevard East — Timmins
5. Queenston Street — St. Catharines
6. Burlington Street East — Hamilton
7. Lorne Street — Sudbury
8. Bayveiw Avenue — Toronto
9. Dufferin Street — Toronto
10. Riverside Drive — Timmins, Water Street — Thunder Bay (tie)
