The rest of the article suggests that this means that the provincial government transferred ownership and maintenance of that part of the road to the Toronto government. Is this a strictly Canadian usage? I've never come across it in AmE and it doesn't seem to be common in BrE.The 427–Humber section was downloaded by the province to Toronto in 1997...
