[Talk-ca] Proposal to tag Yonge Street in Toronto and York Region as Primary

[Andrew Deng]

Hello, I believe Yonge Street in Toronto and York Region (Regional Road 1) should be tagged as highway=primary rather than highway=secondary as it is tagged now.
Here are some reasons I believe why:
1) Yonge Street is considered the "Main Street" of Toronto, Thornhill, Richmond Hill, and Aurora. It is also a major road in Newmarket.
2) It is a major thoroughfare throughout the route. In Toronto, the Yonge subway follows it and in York Region, Viva bus lanes are being built. It also connects to Bradford in the north.
3) It was a former Ontario King's Highway - Highway 11. Some other former King's Highways in the Toronto/York area are tagged as highway=primary, such as Highway 27, Highway 7, and Highway 48.
