Summary
Bonner Street is a named road on Beaver Island’s current OpenStreetMap map.
One held way carries that name, and its geometry is the whole route: about 97
m. It meets two other named roads, listed under intersects_road.
Evidence and limits
The name and the alignment are what mappers last entered, and OpenStreetMap is
volunteered work rather than a survey: it settles neither the right-of-way nor
who maintains the road. Where the name came from is a separate question. Plats,
road-commission minutes, and island memory answer that one. Put an older
spelling from any of them into alt_names or former_names, with the source
that attests it.

The minutes report that the County Road Commission had abandoned the segment through several properties and that affected property owners opposed improvement. The township voted not to improve it at that time…
