Was watching this video which sorta explains why so many main roads in Vancouver have a "jog" right around 16th (Victoria to Commercial, Fraser at Kingsway, Knight/Clark, Main/17th) (it's because Vancouver proper's border was 16th avenue back then) and then went down the rabbit hole and found this book that tells the history of Vancouver streets: https://bccd.vpl.ca/pdf/Street_Names_of_Vancouver.pdf
Lots of fascinating stuff that explains a lot about how streets got their names etc.
