Inaccurate Graphic of Proposed Routes

[edit]

This graphic is junk. But worse, its not accurate. It is missing the most prominent Long Island bridge proposal linking I-287 with Oyster Bay. There is no line of any color leaving I-287 at Rye, NY. I would propose either updating the graphic to reflect actual proposal locations, or removing the graphic altogether. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.107.16.119 (talk) 14:51, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Bronx-White Plains Expressway?

[edit]

What on earth is the "Bronx-White Plains Expressway"? This piped link points to New York State Route 125. I drive that route every day; it's mostly 2-lane back roads. There's nothing Expressway about it. -- RoySmith (talk) 05:03, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Heathcoate Bypass, which includes NY 125, was intended to be part of the formerly proposed Bronx-White Plains Expressway[1]. It's actually NY 101, a.k.a. the Western Nassau Expressway[2] that was proposed to be used as a Long Island Sound Crossing, and would've terminated at the Bronx-White Plains Expressway on the north end.

Cool! I never heard of this! Could you send me an article on that? Jgcarter 23:16, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I always wondered what Heathcoate Bypass was all about. It's so out of place with the rest of the streets around there. -- RoySmith (talk) 23:20, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

East End bridges were planned by LIRR

[edit]

The proposals for a bridge on the east end of Long Island actually go much further back than this. In fact they originated with the Long Island Railroad during the late-19th Century. ----DanTD 16:29, 19 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tunnel

[edit]

Should me mention the currently proposed 16-mile tunnel between Oyster Bay, NY and Rye, NY? Superm401 - Talk 19:02, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A tunnel has been proposed before, most notably during the 1990's. ----DanTD (talk) 18:05, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Requested Move

[edit]

I want to move this article to a more sensible title, but I don't know what. I just started Long Island Sound link, unaware of this article. "Long Island Crossing" is a horrendous title. It doesn't cross Long Island; it crosses Long Island Sound. There's a huge difference.

Please discuss what title works best; then an admin can perform a history merge. Shalom (HelloPeace) 03:14, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I wrote the following at Wikipedia:Requested moves:

Botched mixup by WP:AfD

[edit]

AfD has dealt with this Requested move issue, but very poorly. Now we have a talk page at one name and an article at a different name. And it still remains listed at Wikipedia:Requested moves. Gene Nygaard (talk) 16:52, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
