Google Maps & Waterloo

I'm sure those of you who use Google Maps frequently have noticed this change within the past few months, and it really bugs me. All of the main, arterial roads in Waterloo on Google Maps appear as if they are a secondary/side street! What I am referring to is that Google uses orange to denote a freeway, yellow to denote an arterial road, and white for side streets. And...it seems that in Waterloo Region on Google Maps, anything north of Erb Street is assumed to be a "side street". What's up with this? I've also noticed that Google has labeled Alexandria Ave in the Uptown/Westmount area as an arterial! So, is Google saying that Alexandria Ave is busier and more of a primary road than say, Northfield, University, Columbia or Fischer-Hallman? Come on, give me a break! Even King Street in Waterloo is labeled as a side road.

Is there anything we can do to have this corrected?


Like, just look at how ridiculous this looks in Comparison to the rest of Waterloo Region's road network on Google:
