Talk:Ontario Highway 6

New Highway 6
I designed the electrical for the New Highway 6 in Ancaster/Glanbrook part of Hamilton, and also helped work on the Linc/403 interchange. I have asked around here at work, and cannot find anyone who can confirm that the Linc was ever used as a routing for Hwy 6 (which I assume you mean would have been the connection from 403 to Upper James). So I deleted that statement from the article.

In fact, the Linc is a city-owned parkway, while Hwy 6 still lies under the jurisdiction of the Ontario Ministry of Transportation (as it's a long-haul route), so I think it would not have even been legal to route Hwy 6 along the Linc. I certainly didn't label the Linc as "Highway 6" in the contract drawings I had prepared for the Linc/403 interchange, and I would have had to if this assertion were true.

I do remember, however, that the original routing of Hwy 6 through Hamilton came off the 403 (either on King & Main, or via York street, I'm not sure which), came up the mountain on either Wellington or James/John (probably Wellington because it then would have taken the Claremont Access to Upper James), and then along Upper James out to Mount Hope and beyond. I can supply a map scan if someone wants definitive proof of this.

I'm open to being corrected, but I think my past 6 years of employment would have been different if that Linc assertion were true.

 * I can essetially verify this as well. The 2003 Ontario road map shows Highway 6 following Upper James Street right through Hamilton. When the airport bypass opened on November 26, 2005, it was moved onto Highway 403. -  ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ  τ ¢  21:17, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Ontario Highway 6
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Ontario Highway 6's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "gmaps": From Ontario Highway 136:  From Ontario Highway 51:  From Ontario Highway 417:  From Ontario Highway 90:  From Northern Ontario Resource Trail:  From Ontario Highway 41:  From Ontario Highway 427: </li> <li>From Ontario Highway 53: </li> <li>From Hanlon Expressway: </li> <li>From Ontario Highway 420: </li> <li>From Ontario Highway 88: </li> <li>From Ontario Highway 14: </li> <li>From Ontario Highway 23: </li> </ul>

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 04:41, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

Correction
The map on the top right of the page needs to be corrected. It's showing Lake Erie to the North of Lake Ontario, where as it's the other way round. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.89.57.225 (talk) 14:07, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
