## Resource

Montreals roads avoid the top ten worst in Quebec for the seventh year, but flat tires surge. Drivers vote Notre-Dame Street East, Souligny Avenue, and Sherbrooke Street East as local headaches. Mayor Soraya Martinez Ferrada warns of potential delays due to broken pothole machines. Half of Quebecers support tolls for smoother streets. Despite current safety, craters could still pose a threat next spring. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
