Burke-Gilman[edit]

Maybe worth mentioning that for several miles—more or less the Bothell Way portion—the Burke-Gilman and Sammamish River Trails run parallel and close by? - Jmabel | Talk 10:10, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • "Its western half is primarily an arterial street, named Lake City Way and Bothell Way, following the northern shore of Lake Washington; the eastern half is a grade-separated freeway between Woodinville and Monroe" is it a grade seperate freeway between Woodinville or Monroe or the eastern half? YE Pacific Hurricane 07:58, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Green tickY Clarified it a bit by saying it "runs between Woodinville and Monroe".
  • "the eastern half is a grade-separated freeway between Woodinville and Monroe." link to Grade separation. YE Pacific Hurricane 07:58, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Green tickY Done.
  • "The road later became a branch of Primary State Highway 2 in 1937 and was extended east to Redmond and North Bend." in this instance you should clarify this is SR522. YE Pacific Hurricane 07:58, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Red XN I don't think it needs to be clarified in this specific instance, since the branch highway is succeeding the Red Brick Road, which was mentioned a sentence prior to be part of modern SR 522.
  • " The highway makes a 180-degree turn south to intersect with US 2, where it terminates; " optional, but I'd use the ° symbol here. YE Pacific Hurricane 07:58, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Red XN I'd rather keep the spelled-out version.
  • " The first section of the highway, traveling 7 miles (11 km) from Ravenna Park in Seattle to Lake Forest Park,[20] was completed in 1907 and was pronounced as one of the "finest pieces of road to be found anywhere in the United States".[21][22] From 1911 to 1913,[23] the state and county government paved 4 miles (6.4 km)" why are miles all of a sudden spelled out after it's first useage when it's not spelled out in the infobox? (There are other instances of this as well) YE Pacific Hurricane 07:58, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Green tickY Abbreviated all instances of miles outside of the lead sentence, where it should remain. The infobox was never designed to spell out units anyway, so that can't be changed.
  • "Long-term plans from the Washington State Department of Transportation for increasing traffic congestion" who on earth would want to increase traffic congestion? 07:58, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
    • Green tickY Oops. Fixed that.

Otherwise, it's fine. YE Pacific Hurricane 07:58, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Yellow Evan: I believe that does it. SounderBruce 08:20, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
