Talk:Thousand Islands Parkway

Highway 2 Again?
After a brief check of Google Maps, it seems Google has added Highway 2 markers to its maps website along the Thousand Islands Parkway. I am well aware of the Parkway's former routing as Highway 2S prior to 1970, but I did not think it was still designated as Highway 2. I thought Highway 2 was only between Highway 401 and Gananoque's eastern town limits. Does anybody have any information on this that they could share? Thank you.

 * You're right about it being from Gananoque to the 401... and prior to 1998 it ran much further inland. I'd be wary of Google Maps, which can often pop up with the strangest of mistakes. I personally stick with the MTO's increasingly outdated AADT counts or Official Road Map. -  Floydian  τ ¢  19:51, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
