  1. I believe "49 mile" is supposed to be hyphenated.
  1. "termini" - the plural form of "terminus"? I've never heard the word before.
Is that a yes? GaryColemanFan (talk) 14:24, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That is a yes.
  1. "a river", "local roads", "various state roads" - could the names be added?
This hasn't been done. GaryColemanFan (talk) 14:24, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  1. "At the intersection where Route 997 turns off to the north, Route 316 intersects." - this is an awkward sentence
  1. "without much activity" - what does this mean?
  1. "Pond Bank" - can I assume that this is just past Mont Alto on the route?
  1. "The route heads to the northwest" - it should be made clear that this is 997, not 30 (which I am assuming has split off by this point)
  1. "without much activity" - see above
  1. "Route 997 comes to an end with Pennsylvania Route 233 in McCrea, a route it intersected back in Mont Alto." - "comes to an end with" is awkward, as is "a route it intersected back in". For the second, perhaps ", with which it previously intersected in Mont Alto"?
  1. Fayetteville - why not mentioned in the route description? In fact, most of the places mentioned in the "Major intersections" section aren't in the route description.
Greene Township, Roxbury, and Newburg still aren't mentioned. Does the road pass through them?

Greene Township is linked at Greenvillage. Now done :) -Mitch32(UP) 19:38, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  1. "current PA 316 alignment to its current alignment" - could one "current" become "present"?
  1. "23 years later" - it is best not to begin sentences with numerals
  1. "taken off its alignment on Mont Alto Road, Main Street and Mount Pleasant Road onto its current alignment" - could this be rephrased to avoid one "alignment"?
That helped the sentence, but it still seems a little awkward. "taken off x onto y" doesn't seem to work grammatically. GaryColemanFan (talk) 14:24, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'll place this on hold. Feel free to ask/comment here. Best wishes, GaryColemanFan (talk) 03:57, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the quick response. I struck out the ones that have been resolved, and I left a few more comments. GaryColemanFan (talk) 14:24, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Done now.Mitch32(UP) 19:38, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
