Two West Island streets have been included in a list of the worst roads in Quebec, according to an annual CAA-Quebec survey.
Labrosse Avenue in Pointe Claire and Saint-Charles Boulevard in Kirkland received special mentions on the list, along with Côte Saint-Luc Road and Pie IX Boulevard.

The online, voluntary survey, called the “Worst Roads Campaign,” was conducted between April and May this year, and heard from close to 10,000 people included motorists, cyclists and pedestrians, according to CAA-Quebec.
“The campaign is much more than a way for road users to let off steam,” said CAA-Quebec spokesperson Sophie Gagnon.

She pointed out it’s a way for citizens to help make a difference.
“Last year, for example, nine of the 10 roads on our list were subsequently repaired or included in a medium- or long-term roadworks plan,” Gagnon said.

But Kirkland Mayor Michel Gibson doesn’t think that his portion of St Charles deserves to be on the list.
“The part in Kirkland is beautiful,” he said. “I’m pretty sure that the section they meant wasn’t in Kirkland. “Approximately one year and a half ago we redid all the south portion of St. Charles.”
In Point Claire, though, change is supposed to be coming. According to Mayor Morris Trudeau, the city plans to spend up to $28 million for road repairs. “We will be re-doing about 15 different roads in Pointe-Claire,” he explained.
CAA-Quebec said that in six months, the organization will issue a report on any work done on the roads mentioned in the survey.
