The current map is misleading. The section of road between Bradford and Barrie didn't become known as "Yonge Street" until Highway 11 was extended in the 1920s. Yonge Street was strictly the portion to Holland's Landing (and a tad north). - Floydian ^τ _¢ 03:28, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What part of the map implies that the Bradford-to-Barrie segment was called Yonge Street before the 1920s at all? It's contrasting the current Yonge Street against the downloaded alignment of Highway 11 as of 1998 and the current terminus of Highway 11, so I don't see what the 1920s have to do with it.

It just implies that it's part of Yonge Street, when it is in fact a separate road with the same name. There's plenty of Yonge Street's in Ontario, and I don't believe it is accurate to include anything but the original portion in this article. - Floydian ^τ _¢ 21:45, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Except that's not the point of that map. The infobox map (which just depicts the original John Graves Simcoe alignment) covers off that purpose — but the map in the "longest street in the world" section is meant to depict the complete extent to which Yonge Street and Highway 11 could ever have been taken as synonyms for each other. Which means that map does have to show both segments, because its core purpose is to illustrate "where did Highway 11 carry the street name Yonge and where did it not".

You make a good point. I retract my issue. - Floydian ^τ _¢ 17:34, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
