The year of the pothole.

Queen St. W in front of Trinity Bellwoods, right eastbound lane.

According to an article in the Toronto Star, 2008 is the worst year for potholes - I think my bike would have to agree. Since January 1, they have fixed 47,000 compared to the 20,000 they fixed last year, amounting to 1.3 million dollars for the patchwork job. 

I think it's time that someone or someones - hint: Matt & Casey. Can you say joint thesis? -  sits down and really thinks about this problem. Clearly is it getting worse and there really is no solution. That patch they put in today, will be one of those mini boulders I used to use to throw into the "lakes" on the schoolyard as a kid to splash the girls, in no time. 

Oh, and my bike riding ass can't take it anymore either.
