Many northern municipalities that received downloaded highways from the Ontario Government in 1997-1998 simply renamed the former highways as "Municipal Road", because they did not have a lower-tier road numbering system in place. In the instance of Former Hwy 67 between Timmins and Iroquois Falls, it would have been a better idea to name the former highway as "Highway 67", since most Timmins-area residents still call this road by its former highway number.

 Left - An abandoned superelevated curve leads to the site of the former railway crossing on Hwy 67. Note the railway cars passing by the overgrown crossing location at left. The railway crossing was bypassed because motorists on Hwy 67 did not have adequate visibility of the tracks, due to the skewed angle of old crossing.
