Crews hope to fill more than 6,000 potholes as part of one-day blitz

It comes on the heels of a similar blitz last month, in which crews were able to fill 5,826 potholes.

“We will bet targeting all of our roads today – our expressways, main arterial roadways, collector roads and local rods – so the message to motorists is to expect some delays today and to give yourself some extra time to get where you are going,” Toronto's superintendent of road operations Mark Mills told CP24 on Saturday morning. “We are out there to help. You should notice a major difference in the drivability of these roads by tomorrow morning.

Mills said that he anticipates today’s blitz will be followed by “three or four” similar blitzes over the coming weeks.

With tar, so we'll have to do it all over again next year.

Ya right and you really believe that?, They missed 3 at York Mills subway station parking lot, north west corner at Yonge and York Mills, was there at 6pm

Ya right, I seen what they did at Victoria Park and St. Claire, they put some black gravel down and didn't even pack it, it's a bunch of bull shit if you ask me. Piss poor job. What a disgrace 👎👎👎

All my tires had to be changed because of the potholes

Chris there every where fixing. will always come back next year frost will lift them once again. too much money to repave. O well. Never ending story.

How the hell is John Tory going to do six thousand photo ops in one day?

They should. We pay a fortune in taxes. My question is why now? I mean, I already bought 3 new tires and rims this year. That’s 7 winter tires in one season.

Finally, thankgod

So they will just be staying on Dufferin st for the day then. Wait didn't we fill this one earlier.

Our lovely cityofbarrie really needs this kind of blitz!

King Rd btwn Jane & keele in king city needs you!

holly fuck, stop smoking and watching one guy work, and fill the damn potholes already

Please fill up the patches on southbound Leslie to the eastbound 401 ramp!

6000 in a day? Why dont they do that every day? Guess 1 guy with a shovel and 5 watching slows things down. Must have found some extra shovels.

So caledonia yea?

So cars can go faster. Yeah, city needs that. VisionZero topoli

They better! A pot hole took the life of one of tires last month 😤 RIP to my front left 19inch tire.

Good. Tired of playing 'Puddle or Pothole' in this city the past few days.
