This road is terrible. I used to bike clockwise laps around Cherry, Commissioners, Leslie, Unwin. It has been years since that was a viable option.Called 311 yesterday to report that all of Unwin Ave from Cherry east to the Hearn is basically undriveable.
Huge, enormous potholes so big they would swallow your entire wheel right up to the axle all over the place. You have to constantly swerved back and for forth across the entire road to avoid them.
I suppose a dump truck or cement truck could hit them and survive, but anything smaller would rip their wheel right off.
And if the pot holes don't catch you then the tracks at the end (in red dashes) are not longer in the road, they now sit a full 5 or 6 inches above what used to be the road making it like as if you just drove straight at a set of railway tracks.
It's totally and completely nuts.
The nice lady on 311 couldn't help with anything and just kept saying, "I'm just trying to find which intersection you're talking about..." And i was like, "No ALLLLLLL of Unwin is f*cked!"

Biking with limited/non-stop above 30 kph is not welcome on the Spit, High Park, Exhibition Place, bike lanes, roads (cars get pissed off if you’re in their lane especially on Lakeshore near a bike lane). A german Sheppard pulled my wife off her bike in the country years ago. Now it’s Gym and Peloton and Sunday morning rides
Oh wrong thread.
Driving above 30 kph or through puddles on this road is risky.
Constantly
