taxobox wrong

The information in the box is wrong. Guadalupe Parkway does not intersect with CA-237. I'll remove that false intersection in a second. Gentgeen 08:40, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

Freeway vs parkway

This used to be called Guadalupe Parkway, I guess because sections hadn't been upgraded to freeway quality (?). Was the name formally changed? -- John Fader (talk · contribs) 12:44, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I don't think so--I believe that the signs from 101 still say "Guadalupe Parkway", but it might be my brain messing with me. Elf | Talk 02:40, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Extension into the City?

Apparently, in 1955, there were plans for Ca-87 to run all the way into the City. 1955 Trafficways Map Any ideas on how to find out more about this? --MikZ (talk) 17:18, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Exit for Santa Clara Street in Downtown San Jose

I just noticed that my contribution was removed because it appeared to be incorrect to at least one other user. I believe that my contribution was correct, as there is a picture at the Google Street View site that clearly shows "Santa Clara Street" and "Downtown San Jose" on the same overhead sign; here is the link. This sign is located along the northbound CA-87 collector-distributor lanes in downtown San Jose. SoCalSuperEagle (talk) 20:13, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

The sign I'm seeing on Google Maps Street View for Santa Clara Street is the same as this image: [1]. Where's the "Downtown San Jose"? Gill Giller Gillerger (talk) 22:38, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

On the northbound side, there is a single exit for Auzerais, San Carlos, Santa Clara, and Julian - it is signed as exit 6 (also known as the Downtown Connector). The individual ramps don't have exit numbers.

This is a picture of the entrace to the connector (marked as exit 6) [2], here's the ramp to San Carlos/Auzerais (also marked as exit 6)[3], here's the exit to Santa Clara (no exit number) [4], and Julian St (no exit number) [5].

This is supported by the Caltrans NExUS website.--SharkxFanSJ (talk) 17:38, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Oh, the control city is listed on a BGS sign located on a ramp. I believe we just list the main exit signs from the actual freeway - there are so many other signs that list way too many control cities, possibly making it a tedious task to list them all.

B-Class Upgrade

I think this article could be upgraded to B-class. What do you think?

Kevon kevono (talk) 20:06, 13 June 2016 (UTC) 13:06 (PDT)

Why do you think it meets the B-class criteria? --Rs chen 7754 00:19, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

The history section is fairly descriptive and the RD is clearly defined. This article flows well and the highway's main points are clearly defined. There aren't lots of citations in the history, though, and it's impossible to back up these facts/claims on the Internet, since I can't find any links.

Kevon kevono (talk) 04:19, 14 June 2016 (UTC) 21:19 (PDT)

(BTW, I take your question as a no to upgrading.)

The B-Class criteria (and GA, A, FA) don't make an exception for "there's nothing on the Internet about it". In this case, I wouldn't be surprised if there is more about this on the Internet; it's just knowing what to look for. But there are also books, newspapers, etc. that you can, and probably will need to, use. --Rs chen 7754 04:26, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
