Hello, my name is Will and I will be reviewing this article.
Lead and box
"Highway 19 is 18.8 km (11.7 mi) long, which is similar to its original length in 1930, starting at Highway 3 in the south and ending at Highway 2 in the north." - This statement is kind of up out there. The length currently is explained but not its original length. It may be similar but doesn't explain how similar for people unfamiliar.--WillC02:22, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, I didn't know Canada had county governments. Interesting.
The box looks good.
Route description
"where it encounter County Road 46 (Salford Road)." - Add an s to encounter.
History
"Baldwin Act and the Act to Authorize Formation of Joint Stock Companies" - Do none of these have articles of their own to be linked to?
"Plank and Gravel Road" - Is there a reason this is in italics? It is not in the lead. I may be missing something here.
A bit difficult to understand at times but I think that is because of all of the names and not the writing style.
Major intersections
Good
References
Assuming good faith on these.
External links
Looks good.
Criteria
Article looks good for its size and I've checked up on the author and he/she seems to know enough about the subject matter. However, I have one question: Is there anything else that can be added to this article? I don't know what, but for its size I feel there may be something left out. I'm gonna assume good faith that everything is done, but I still must ask. Otherwise, fix the above issues and I think it is good enough to pass.--WillC02:22, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the review, and I'm very glad you like my box haha! :P
I've fixed the issues you've brought up. Unfortunately there is no article or likelihood of an article for the named act of legislature from 1849; there simply isn't enough info out there about it. I can understand your difficulty with the history: without a bit of familiarity with the layout of the area (or by studying the Google Maps link if you're out of the area), it can be almost impossible to visualize what is being explained.
That said, I believe the article covers every verifiable facet of the subject. There have been no controversies, significant pileups, or blackzones (stretches which often see deadly accidents). Cheers, Floydianτ¢21:34, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
