Have been commuting by car more than usual since my kid started daycare and have noticed some of the downtown streets are getting pretty wrecked.
Gerrard from Jarvis to Bay gets worse as you travel into the city with a mix of teethrattling surface and poor lane markings approaching Yonge - even Streetview's pictures which are 2 years old show visible roughness.. Past Yonge seems to have been surfaced since Aura stopped encroaching with their construction fencing but the single lane is almost always obstructed by a delivery truck or construction vehicle.
Heading out of downtown, the stretch of Elm west of Bay needs to be realigned - eastbound traffic has only one lane but with SickKids fencing down the westbound traffic has one double wide lane. This makes no sense because eastbound it's possible to turn left onto Bay, which leads to long line-ups along with the odd car tooling up the wrong side of the road because the driver can't believe there isn't a turning lane and the lane markings are sufficiently worn that it's not abundantly clear what the score is.
Any other basketcase stretches people know of?
