I like the concept, but have couple tweaks to the routes: TCH 1 - instead of following the Trans-Labrador Hwy, maybe it could continue along QC 138 from Quebec City along current and missing sections to Blanc-Sablon and follow either a ferry or fixed link to Newfoundland. TCH 6 & 7 - the main...

Number changes would be more-so for the benefit of travelers along the highway than the residents who already live there. I recall reading about when road travel by car was in its infancy, there was resistance from towns putting up signage indicating the town name, the attitude being that they...

I should clarify that the "bypass" I initially referenced was the series of highway upgrades that significantly bypassed SSM by 100+ km. A more traditional bypass on the edge of town would probably still be needed.

I think from a non-commercial transport perspective, Sault Ste Marie probably provides important tourist services that would otherwise be pretty sparse between Sudbury and...
