A convoy of eight specialized trucks, carrying hot asphalt, have hit the street Thursday targeting heavily traveled arteries to patch up the bumpy ride.
Montreal is emerging from a successful battle with perhaps its greatest scourge: the pothole. The city is trumpeting a pothole-filling season that saw workers plug a whopping 111,000 cracks, gaps and pits on major thoroughfares not counting work to fill holes on smaller local streets.
Montrealers are all too familiar with poor driving conditions. I mean…it's pothole central over here, right? So, when Jeff Goldvine, a Montreal-based comedian and musician created a video showcasing the difference between driving in Montreal versus Toronto it's safe to say he was spot on.
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it just depends on whom you ask. As a growing, changing city at the nexus of debates about identity and economic opportunity, Montreal is full of stirring, important citizen debate and plenty of grumbles.
