The Canadian Automobile Association has announced its annual Top 10 Worst Roads in Ontario and Thunder Bay appears twice on that list.

One of those roads is Balmoral Street, which sits in third place overall. The worst section of Balmoral is scheduled for a major upgrade over the next few years. 

The other local road on the list is Water Street, which is tied for tenth place as the worst road in Ontario. 

Officials from CAA say this year's rankings include six roads from Northern Ontario. 

Geoff Wilkinson, executive director of the Ontario Road Builders Association, says this shows that more attention needs to be paid to smaller municipalities.

The majority of the votes on the CAA Worst roads website were based on potholes and congestion.

Other factors include pedestrian and cycling safety.
