Resolved note #1783432

Description

Geobase says name of this road is "Kewbeach Avenue" osm.org/way/28866885 but a CBC news story has it as "Kew Beach Avenue" https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/it-s-pretty-scary-beach-residents-call-on-city-to-get-drivers-to-slow-down-1.5140757 and that would also seem to be a more obvious name. Could someone survey and verify which it is, edit and add a not:name as needed?

Note that address ranges from StatCan 92-500-X are "Kew Beach Avenue". There is a leftover stretch from CanVec 6.0 - NRCan (seemingly where there are no actual houses) like osm.org/node/804618329 that has "Kewbeach Avenue". Canada Post has "Kew Beach Ave".

I don't believe we should use Google imagery for OSM

Thanks for checking in person!

Geobase road name database also shows "Kewbeach" here, and just checking now, Canada Post also now has "Kewbeach Ave".

So that looks pretty consistent and unambiguous. I'll add a not:name tag for future reference then resolve the note.
