"Potholes, asphalt crumbling and falling into the river, a bike path with 97 utility poles sunk right in the middle, no sidewalk in some spots — these are just a few problems that typify this road," Corinne Tastayre wrote in her vote for Gouin Boulevard East.
"This, despite the fact that it's designated as a heritage and scenic road."
