Victoria Avenue in Brandon took top prize with nearly double the votes of the second worst road in the province – St. James Street in Winnipeg.
The province’s third-worst road was 1st Street in Winkler. Rounding out the top five were Berry Street and Ness Avenue in Winnipeg.
Just over 5,000 votes were cast in the four-week campaign.

In addition, the Province of Manitoba made major commitments to improving infrastructure in the province in the recently released 2013 budget.
