East-West Continuity

Credible sources suggest that the 440 / 436 area code is not contiguous as this page's text currently claims. Specifically, along Canal Rd. between Sagamore Hills and Valley View, there's a distinct gap between "East" 440/436 and "West" 440/436.

Consider: https://www.allareacodes.com/440

An example coordinate that is directly in the gap between East and West 440/436 is 41.35117394080268, -81.59218530272241. At its narrowest, this gap appears to be approximately 2400 ft. / 730m wide. Shall the text be amended to remove the claim of continuity? Scotticusz (talk) 16:32, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
