Toronto's Pothole Blitz: Mayor's Call to Action

Torontos first pothole repair blitz of the year kicked off, with Mayor Olivia Chow joining crews to fix a large pothole at Don Mills Road. The wild winter weather causes significant road damage, affecting car alignments and pedestrian sidewalks. City crews handle around seven hundred to eight hundred potholes daily, with no increase from last year, and fix approximately two hundred thousand annually. Residents are encouraged to report potholes by calling three one one for safety and smooth roads. Checkout Solipillow.com
