On the West Island, the road along du Château-Pierrefonds Avenue has uneven and bumpy conditions that people have become used to.
Jason Pepper, a Pierrefonds resident, said that the road has become wavy and hilly, giving drivers the sensation of being on a rollercoaster.
Pepper added, “It’s quite exciting. The kids enjoy it, but I don’t.”
According to residents, the road has worsened over the years, and many believe it needs to be completely redone.
Pepper stated, “It’s not good. I'm not sure if Château-Pierrefonds is the worst road, but it’s close.”
Quebec residents are invited to voice their opinions on the road they believe is the worst.
On Tuesday, CAA-Quebec launched its annual campaign, urging drivers to vote and submit photos of the most challenging street to navigate.
Officials emphasize that your vote can have a significant impact.
According to CAA-Quebec spokesperson David Marcille, “Cities eagerly anticipate this campaign, as it can be used to request additional funding from governments for road maintenance.”
Last year, Georges Street in Gatineau was named the worst road in Quebec.
In Montreal, Notre-Dame E., L’Acadie Blvd., and Christophe-Colomb claimed the top three spots.
Côte-de-Liesse and St-Laurent Blvd., secured fourth and fifth place.
CAA states that weather significantly influences road conditions, and this year, pothole season began earlier than usual.
David Marcille stated, “We started discussing potholes in January, which is unusually early. Last year, we didn't start talking about them until the end of February. Unfortunately, car owners bear a significant cost.”
Quebec residents can cast their votes for the worst road via CAA's website until April 23. Results will be published in early May. CAA-Quebec launched its annual campaign on Tuesday, asking drivers to vote and submit photos of the most difficult street to navigate.
Results will be posted in early May.
