Welcome to WikiProject Canada Streets. Some Wikipedians have formed this collaboration resource and group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of Canadian Streets and the organization of information and articles on this topic. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions and various resources; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians interested in the topic. If you would like to help, please join the project, inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list below.
Scope edit
The scope of this project is two-fold:
- To cover city streets that are not covered by WikiProject Canada Roads
- To cover local (non-city) streets that are not covered by WikiProject Canada Roads. This includes numbered roads in the Ontario cities of Windsor, Hamilton, and Ottawa, but not county and regional roads in other jurisdictions.
Anything streets that are covered by the Canada Roads WikiProject should remain in that project and not in not this project. Municipal expressways are generally covered by WikiProject Canada Roads, but can be also tagged by the streets project; however, they should use infobox road and follow the standards for highway articles.
Goals edit
The main goal of this project is to work on city and local streets that do not fall under the scope of the Canada Roads WikiProject and get them to Featured articles on Wikipedia. By removing these articles from the scope of WikiProject Canada Roads, that not only clarifies what both projects are intended for, but creates a forum for users from city projects (such as WikiProject Toronto, WikiProject Vancouver) and the other roads projects.
