Notes

A freeway was planned along I-35E southwest of downtown by 1945: [1]

[2] shows the configuration before I-35E was completed. I'm still trying to figure out if I-94 exit 241B was supposed to be a freeway-to-freeway connection to I-35E. --NE2 05:41, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Neologism

Do you have a reliable source for the term commons? —Scott5114↗ 10:37, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

It's the standard term used by Mn/DOT for freeway overlaps. [3] specifically applies the term to the I-35E/I-94 interchange: "St. Paul 35E/94 commons - 260,000". So do [4] and [5] ("the rebuilding of the I-35E/I-94 commons area in St. Paul"). [6] includes an article from the Star Tribune that defines it as "2 freeways share a single right-of-way". --NE2 11:02, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

USRD GA audit

This article has failed the USRD GA audit and will be sent to WP:GAR if the issues are not resolved within one week. Please see WT:USRD for more details, and please ask me if you have any questions as to why this article failed. --Rschen7754 (T C) 02:34, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Looking through the article, there are some issues that should be resolved for this article to retain GA status, or be promoted in the future:
  • There are a number of hidden comments in the article that contain questions that should be answered, if possible.
  • The lead needs to be expanded to summarize the history per WP:LEAD.
  • Most of the online citations lack access dates.
  • The AADT information should be updated; I would assume that Mn/DOT has published data more recent than six years ago.
  • One of the citations has a dead link.
I did clean up the references by putting them all in templates. This way, newspapers are italicized, everything is pretty much consistently formatted and the author names are in the standard "Last, First" order or "Staff" is listed for corporate works. I'm concerned that without some additional work though, this article could be sent to GAR yet. Imzadi 1979 → 06:47, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
