It is hard to even call it a paved road. It is more potholes and pothole filler than it is a paved road. Amazing that this road sees over 1000 vehicles a day and is worse than a country lane way. Shame for a main city road.

Road is a disgrace. In dire need of repair. Alligator cracking throughout, heaving and sinking gets worse in winter. Pedestrians have nowhere to walk and risk getting hit by cars and 18-wheelers. Also very congested. It's so bad that the City felt necessary to put UNWARRANTED signals at the entrance to their Operations Department so THEY could easily get out at the end of their work day, adding further delays to Ferndale traffic. NOT HAPPY. >:(

Road is full of potholes, heaving pavement, large cracks, poor drainage and excessive ponding whenever it rains or when snow melts. Road at the very least should have storm sewers or proper ditches. On-street parking next to Sunnidale Park consists of a filthy, muddy shoulder. Rather embarrassing whenever I have guests with me from out of town.

This road goes from two lanes to one lane and doesn't really tell you until you cross John St. then it like patch work and then opens back to two lanes before Dunlop St. Some drivers treat the one lane section as a two lane road but it just isn't wide enough. Every other part of Anne St. is two lane. Why didn't they continue it through there?

Road is currently a two lane road that is heavily traveled by both vehicle and pedestrian traffic due to no sidewalks along this stretch.

The road is so loaded with pot holes that you could end up with whip lash as you bounce over it. As a temporary fix, the pot holes are filled with asphalt, but because the road is never properly repaired, it is a bandaid at best. The bandaid only lasts for a few days then the pot holes are back.

Construction, excavation and drainage is exceptionally poor in this area. While being stuck in construction traffic during a heavy down pour in this area which caused water to rise. I found my self stuck in the area & unable to get out Resulting in water entering my engine and permanently damaging putting a hole in my engine block. Leaving me with an $8000 repair bill estimate. I am doing the repairs myself and it has already cost me over $3000 and it is not done yet. CAA had to remove the car from the road a joining Anne Street @ John/wellington in August 2008 right when the damages occurred. The 99 Mitsubishi Eclipse is still not completely repaired and running. It now requires the new engine to be placed in the car and everything re connected. Anne Street is the worst road by far that I have ever seen! I am a CAA member but I do not know my number off hand.

Why does a world class city like Barrie have roads like this? Morrow Road is not some untraveled back lane, it's a major truck route that serves some of Barrie's oldest industries.

With the potholes, poorly patched ones, cracks not routed and filled, and poor quality repairs, this street makes any car shake rattle & roll! And its a bus route for both city transit and school buses. This year I witnessed one pothole being filled while a larger one 10 feet away was ignored. 2 years ago they were crack routing and filling in the area when it snowed one day (in Oct.). They never returned, even the next year! Obviously the contractors were paid for all that was marked out to be done or the City would've had someone come back to complete the job at some point. This just lead to more asphalt failures and potholes. Must be run by the same City Department that never looks after all of the malfunctioning traffic signal sensors, etc. (Left turn arrows up when no cars are there while 15 cars sit there wasting their fuel and polluting the air - nevermind contributing to traffic congestion.) Probably another reason why the City of Barrie was named one of the worst managed cities in Canada by McLean's magazine!

The single lane bottleneck on either side of the 2km stretch of road is the start of the frustration for 1000's of daily drivers as they travel on this poorly maintained, pot-holed and lumpy pavement. It lies between Barrie's fastest growing community and the only highway, the 400. It is also the ONLY direct route to the highway for these folks (mightn't be a problem if more of us worked in Barrie - but that's a separate issue). Additionally, 100s more commuters join the congo line daily right through the middle of this section at both Madeline Drive and Country Lane.. and on a good rainy day expect that a 100 feet of the road gets entirely submerged by a backed up river. Much recent improvement has been done by the city on either side of this section of Mapleview, (applaud) but unfortunately it has not alleviated the problem just moved it a little.

Worst road in history. I just moved from Barrie.. The road is about 1.5 lanes wide, no one seems to know if it's suppose to be one lane or two, someone comes beside you to pass and almost scrapes your side. Major pot holes always, very bumpy + dippy. Recently started a ton of construction, making it now almost untravelable. There always seemed to be some kind of construction on Anne street when i lived there, but it never seemed to get better.
