  • Much better, though you'll need to tidy it up to improve quality and make it more cartographic. Also, there are some unmarked red bits. Charlesjsharp (talk) 20:41, 12 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    That is just the way the DC road network works. The state avenues have a bad habit of randomly starting and stopping. Maryland Avenue is 8 non-contiguous pieces Guerillero Parlez Moi 21:16, 12 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment – Just my opinion (it's very subjective): The area outside D.C. is bright, and it pops like an unfinished canvas. How about de-emphasizing it by using a milder tone there. Maybe c6c5c3, abb2ab, a4aaa4, etc. or anything to make the D.C. area pop over the surroundings. Bammesk (talk) 16:35, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose Alt1 – Sorry, but the map legend with street names doesn't really solve the problem. – Sca (talk) 13:29, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Some of the streets are less than half a kilometer in length. There isn't a way to label them short of increasing the size another time; we are already at 5k pixels a side. Opposes need to be actionable --Guerillero Parlez Moi 14:14, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose DC's shape is cut off. – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 03:14, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support either Not perfect, but it's a difficult subject to display and these maps have a high encyclopedic value. (t · c) buidhe 14:53, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
