Talk:Concession road

message: Hmm -- in Bruce County our concession numbering system is different -- same with Grey and Huron Counties too I think. Each concession is actually two concessions, one for each side of the road, however road signage only refers to the even number (concession 2, 4, 6, etc).

message: Concession roads seem to be a facet of the larger idea of concessions... That being strips of land divided into lots during the surveying of a township. Would anyone be opposed to the renaming of this article to Concession (surveying), and the shifting of the prose to discuss the land lots as well as the roads cleared in front of those lots by statute labour. - Floydian τ ¢ 18:53, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

message: As we point out, there is some crazy number of variations. I would like to give a "few" examples here, to give people the idea, but I imagine most systems could be detailed in the "township" articles.
I picked:
* King township - single front, 1-1/4 mile square blocks, still uses numbered concessions and sideroads. Same system as most of York region.
* Peel region - double front, 1-7/8 rectangular blocks, uses East/West system
Update July 2021:
If I can re-iterate: I tried to pick two areas with differing systems as general examples. (I will admit some bias in the selection of these two, as I lived in both areas.) For specific examples, I think the information could be placed elsewhere in existing township/town/road articles.(eg Highway 27 in King was on 9th concession road, should be in King article, or Hwy 27 article).

thread_title:  examples 

message: I'm looking for citable reasons why many concession/side roads have been named instead of numbered. I can think of several reasons:
*people prefer names; 
*city folk move to country and don't understand; 
*numerous survey systems to start with; 
*townships merged or renamed {eg Nassagaweya township disappeared but road signage lives on}
*911 system demanded less confusing names; 
But I have few items to support the above.Feldercarb (talk) 17:17, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Many were for a building or feature located along them near the Meridian road of the survey (you school roads, airport roads, etc. The 911 system definitely played a big part since many roads were simple ordinal names until the 1990s. I'd start your search with that. - Floydian τ ¢ 18:02, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
