Winter wasn't kind to Lakeshore Drive.

Potholes dot the city's busiest street and now motorists have recognized it as one of the worst in CAA's northern region.

Lakeshore sits tied for ninth, with Algonquin Boulevard West in Timmins. But Sudbury has eight roads listed in the top 10.

The top worst road in Ontario is Eglinton Avenue East in Toronto.
