"The winter is tough, the weather goes up and it goes down and the temperature fluctuates and it causes havoc in the roads, Chow said at a news conference."
"Potholes really hurt our cars, damage the alignments, the wheels and if they are on the sidewalks, it's hard on pedestrians."
"City crews proactively identify, document and repair pothole and road damage during routine patrols and repair operations,"
"The City's pothole repair program aims to ensure road safety and smooth travel for residents and visitors."
The City of Toronto began its first pothole repair blitz of the year overnight Friday into Saturday, with crews working two phases to fill potholes across the city. Mayor Olivia Chow accompanied crews filling a pothole at 3000 Don Mills Rd. in North York. Winter temperature fluctuations cause water to penetrate cracks, freeze, expand and break pavement, creating potholes. City crews operated from 10:30 p.m. to 6 a.m., then from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. The city saw about 700 to 800 potholes per day in late 2025 and fixes around 200,000 potholes annually. Residents are encouraged to report potholes to 311.
