GIANT ****ing potholes thread

This should be stickied for this season because its highly unlikely they'll get around to fixing everything.

As we all know after this bitter winter our road conditions have gone to ****. We should collectively post the locations of of these bigass potholes, or should I call them craters, that are very dangerous to us. There's a bunch out there but for this thread lets stick to ones that are guaranteed to cause you to go down.

Some really bad ones I've come across that will put us on our *** are

1) Winston Churchill off-ramp going westbound on the 403.

Its right in the center lane which turns left, about 6-8" wide, a few inches deep and at least two feet long. It'll suck in both your wheels if you're unfortunate enough. It all asphalt and its been torn to ****.

2) Burnhamthorpe westbound right after the Mill St. intersection.

Its deep enough to fit a ****ing tennis ball, and about 6" wide and 2.5-3 feet long. Its pretty much where the lane markers should be, so be super careful switching lanes. If you hit it going parallel which is what you'd be doing you're ****ed. Guaranteed. When I saw it I was like WTF?? Even the cager next to me was shaking his head..

Does anyone know if we can call the city and report these?
 
Between Steele's and Queen St on Chinguacousy Road in Brampton, Don't even bother going on that road, its all potholes, horrible road condition, my buddy almost fell riding there going 10km/h.

McCowan between 14th and hwy7, on the right hand side lane (going north) there are a lot of pot holes, a lot! there are some serious huge ones where you can sink your whole front tires in, becareful riding around there.
 
On Bloor westbound in the right lane from around Parliament to Sherbourne there's some pretty MASSIVE cracks that go for several metres. They could easily swallow a tire width.
 
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Shepherd and Markham Road going south; there is more than one pot hole in that intersection and they are pretty efffing deep.
 
Don Mills. The whole dam street! I hit a big one last night, i think it made my trans jump out of gear for half a second. Is that even possible?
 
Gardiner exit to Yonge/York at the split approaching the Yield sign for York/Bay, massive pot holes in the middle of the lane, caught me by surprise today. Lakeshore is a mess the whole way under the Gardiner. Should have torn that up this year, not the Gardiner..
 
Renforth Dr. between 427 and 401. South bound right lane is the worst but both directions suck.
 
Keele going northbound just south of Eglinton (Just north of where they're doing construction now) has some MASSIVE pot-holes in the right hand lane. Several big ones that are about 4" deep!!!!
 
Yonge St. NB. At Wellington. Right lane, right tire track and some if left. Road has sunk, cross walk hasn't.

Gardiner WB, far left lane. Right tire track. Grand Ave to Royal York. Crack running along tire track. Much wider this year and is getting big enough for narrow tires (dual sport, 125's, etc)
 
There's a pretty bad stretch on the 401 west from about Allen rd. to Jane.

Edit: just came back from being on the 401w. The potholes actually start even further east in Scarborough. Probably the biggest one is when you are approaching the 401 and Kennedy in the right lane. Deep sucker that takes up half the lane. If you're in that lane, stay towards the middle and inwards to the shoulder.

Creditview rd in caledon sucks. There's more potholes than road. Specifically between mayfield and king. Use Mississauga rd or chinguacousy for that stretch instead.
