Review

The picture are all creative commons and are able to be used, the article in broad in coverage, concise in its prose, and free from any edit war.

1. I would link "Cortland County–Chase Field Airport" with Cortland County Airport, that is assuming they are the same place.

Done. Mitch32^{(It is very likely this guy doesn't have a girlfriend.)} 20:47, 2 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

2. "Past NY 281, NY 222 runs across a commercial section of Cortlandville, passing several strip malls prior to entering the city of Cortland." - Seems clunky to me, maybe this would be better "Once past NY 281, NY 222 crosses through a commercial section of Cortlandville, passing near several strip malls prior to entering the city of Cortland."

Changed. Mitch32^{(It is very likely this guy doesn't have a girlfriend.)} 20:47, 2 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

3. Under the History section, the Cortland is linked again. Overlink.

Intentionally, and while a gray line of the rule, it is allowed. Mitch32^{(It is very likely this guy doesn't have a girlfriend.)} 20:47, 2 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

4. "On July 10, 1906, the first project was let to rebuild the section..." - is this the act of letting? Not sure what it means.

Common contractual term to "let a contract". Mitch32^{(It is very likely this guy doesn't have a girlfriend.)} 20:47, 2 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

5. "The road was added to the state highway system on October 11, 1907, as unsigned State Highway 446 (SH 446)." - I wouldn't use the comma after 1907, and I think added the word an after as.

Dropping the comma did the job. Mitch32^{(It is very likely this guy doesn't have a girlfriend.)} 20:47, 2 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

6. "A contract to improve the part of the Groton–Cortland road leading west from Highland Road to the Tompkins County line was awarded on April 29, 1912; this segment was accepted into the state highway system on January 8, 1913, as SH 996." - I would make this two sentences. "A contract to improve the part of the Groton–Cortland road leading west from Highland Road to the Tompkins County line was awarded on April 29, 1912. This segment was subsequently accepted into the state highway system, as SH 996, on January 8, 1913."

7. This final suggestion is only that, but I would use non-breaking spaces WP:NBSP where a number is related to something specific, examples like dates "July 10", or the unlinked highways like SH 996 and NY 222.

There's non-breaking spaces everywhere you want and it really is useless for it to even be brought up. Mitch32^{(It is very likely this guy doesn't have a girlfriend.)} 20:47, 2 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

8. Two links came up green, the 2008 traffic report seems to think that is a re-directed PDF file (I failed to see where issue was, and the Bing map (which seems fine to me), but I will not fail the article based upon them.

They are fine. Mitch32^{(It is very likely this guy doesn't have a girlfriend.)} 20:47, 2 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That should do it, seems like minor changes to make, and I will place this on hold. This is a well-written article, and I look forward to passing it.Neonblak ^talk - 18:16, 2 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

My area of concern were addressed, and yes, apparently the non-breaking spaces were definitely there, sorry about that. Again, great job, I'll move forward with promotion.Neonblak ^talk - 00:30, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
