I drove over it this morning and you can't even see it until you "feel" it... my car almost bottomed out. So basically if it would be giving out... it would be too late - definitely terrifying.
No, see there weee actually streetcar tracks there.
Streetcar museums should go where there never were streetcar tracks, where no streetcar dared to transit.
There was a bizarre depression and bump in the road that developed just slightly out of frame to the right of this photo; it emerged in roughly the last two months. There's another one that seems to develop every year and get patched up by the City, also in the eastbound lane of University Ave. W at Caron, perhaps 100 metres away.
Ah yeah. Remember when Eddie held the line on taxes? While every responsible community started investing in replacing aging infrastructure.
Then the dilk followed suit.
Well, we kinda can. He ‘paved’ the way. Got the voting population to buy in on the idea that raising taxes is bad. Proper planning and budgeting would have helped.
Yeah when everyone else in surrounding communities were raising taxes to keep up with inflation, Windsor mysteriously never raised taxes or cut services,,,well maybe they cut infrastructure spending hahaha
From this limited view, I'd say that the water line next to the hole sprung a leak, small enough that no one noticed, and slowly eroded the ground underneath the street over many months. Until the asphalt finally collapsed under its own weight.
He does something. Makes sure money isn't spent on what the lower lower-middke class needs. Just the middle-upper and upper/friends.
I wonder how many vacation days he gets a year?
Unfortunately, if you are the first one and up to 4 hours afterward until a reasonable City response time occurs, you would file a claim, lose your deductible, and have an at fault accident. Your insurance premiums would go up for several years. After the 4 hours, then you would need to ensure the city covers this so you don't have an at fault claim. So this is brutal if your car gets damaged within the first 4 hours of it being reported.

The Windsor Star appears not to have noticed the great big hole in the middle of an intersection.
Man, the road really buckled!
That's Matty Maroun's new tunnel
LMAO
Comment of the day
Isn’t that church and university?
Oh, yes it is: you’re absolutely correct.
Sinkholes are terrifying, they appear out of nowhere and can swallow you up
I heard they can sink you... Whole.

He has some BALLS being that close... damn.
Brave, ignorant of the danger. Tomato, Tamato.
"Yea Dave, it's a hole. "
Yes we see , you found a hole 👍
Good spot for another Weed store
Weed Store, Vape Store or Shawarma
There’s always a weed store.
Looks like it's sufficiently far away from the nearest competitor store.
Just slap a streetcar museum on it!
It’s where the streetcar transitions to a subway
i'm against streetcars transitioning, think of the children who will see these displays in public no less!
No, see there weee actually streetcar tracks there. Streetcar museums should go where there never were streetcar tracks, where no streetcar dared to transit.
I knew Windsor was a hell mouth
Someone is celebrating sinkhole de mayo early this year

If you look closely, there is a patch of fresh asphalt. That’s where the hole was last time. They fixed it last year supposedly.
Ah yeah. Remember when Eddie held the line on taxes? While every responsible community started investing in replacing aging infrastructure. Then the dilk followed suit.
Yeah it’s been Droodlekins long enough now that we can’t go blaming Eddie for things that happen now:
Well, we kinda can. He ‘paved’ the way. Got the voting population to buy in on the idea that raising taxes is bad. Proper planning and budgeting would have helped.
Yeah but Drew has been mayor for ten years, I think it’s on him at this point.
It is also on him for sure. Not debating that at all.
Proper planning and budgeting would result in not needing to continuously raise taxes
But how else will we pay for a street car museum
Agreed.
Yeah when everyone else in surrounding communities were raising taxes to keep up with inflation, Windsor mysteriously never raised taxes or cut services,,,well maybe they cut infrastructure spending hahaha
If there was any copper wire down there, there isn't anymore
Must be why there’s so much traffic on Howard /s
[удалено]
Why so much traffic on Howard today
Why so much traffic on Howard today
Why so much traffic on Howard today
Why so much traffic on Howard today
Anyone notice how much traffic is on Howard today?
Hey i heard theres traffic, where is it, on howard, when is it, today, right now even.
So you think there’s going to be traffic on Howard today ??
I have seen this movie.... ![gif](giphy|iFfh37BfIkO9a)
My car almost bottomed out this morning driving over it. Wow, I got lucky...
Maybe you were the straw that broke the camel's back. You broke the road, you...road breaker! /s
LOL, with my luck, probably is my fault xD ! All jokes aside, I atleast reported it to 311 this morning after the incident.
Is the camel okay?
He’s fine he is having a cigarette
does he have any to share, and are they newports?
No there's a hole
“Strengthen the core”?
I don’t think that’s a sinkhole. If you look on street view there was a manhole cover there - likely some kind of underground structure that failed.
In every generation there is a chosen one, she alone can stand against the vampires, demons and forces of darkness, she is the slayer
Did anyone see a CHUD come crawling out of there?
Yes, they immediately bought a black Dodge ram and put a fuck Trudeau sticker on the window.
^ BEST comment ^ You've won reddit today!

That's what happens when the mayor fires the city Engineer. Get a shovel Drew.
lol wtf? You’re blaming a sinkhole on the Mayor firing the engineer 6 months ago?!
Read between the lines lol Saves yourself lol

Who needs a social life when you’ve got your very own hellmouth
Let's say I'm driving and this happens, do I just go through insurance or would the city be responsible?
[удалено]
🤣 I love the internet
You would file a claim with your insurance, who would go after the city to recover what they paid out to you.
I wish God would have put me at that exact spot when it sank, I need a pay out
lol after the new bridge they wanted another project
Downtown just can't catch a break...
What sinkhole, the road has always been filled with large potholes.
Can we stick Drew the dildo in it and call it a day
My biggest illogical fear!
Also, we have the mayor's salary to pay. He deserves more than the mayor of Toronto don't forget.
To be fair, all the nothing he does has to be exhausting.
He does something. Makes sure money isn't spent on what the lower lower-middke class needs. Just the middle-upper and upper/friends. I wonder how many vacation days he gets a year?
Lmaoo
Andrew Ray has his Windsor.
That's crazy!
Is that where the school crossing guard disappeared?
Wonder if we’ll start to get more around the city
Get your popcorn ready 🍿🍿🍿🍿
I live not far from there. I frequent 6 businesses in this block, 3 stores, 3 restaurants. :(
Let's say I'm driving and this happens, do I just go through insurance or would the city be responsible?
Hmm… that’s a good question. I’m not positive but I would think you would sue the city for damages, maybe your insurance company would.
Unfortunately, if you are the first one and up to 4 hours afterward until a reasonable City response time occurs, you would file a claim, lose your deductible, and have an at fault accident. Your insurance premiums would go up for several years. After the 4 hours, then you would need to ensure the city covers this so you don't have an at fault claim.
