Once again, a well-written article that just needs a few minor changes:

  1. A map would help quite a bit.
Will as soon as possible.Mitch32(UP) 10:16, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  1. The wikilink to Niagara Falls should go to Niagara Falls, New York.
  1. Italicizing "Hyde Park Boulevard" doesn't seem consistent with other road articles.
  1. "the roadway widens to include a center turn lane" - maybe it's just been a long day at work, but I can't picture this. Is there an intersection that just isn't mentioned in the prose?
  1. should "turn lane" be "turning lane"? I've never heard anyone talk about a "turn lane", but this might be a regional difference.
  1. "NY 61 meets Ferry Avenue" - does this mean that they join (become concurrent)?
  1. "in the shadow of the Niagara Falls Courthouse" - "in the shadow of" doesn't seem encyclopedic.
  1. "NY 61 meets northbound US 62" - again, does this mean that they join? Is there another way of phrasing it so that it doesn't use exactly the same word (meets) as the previous sentence?
  1. "The pairing of Gill Creek and NY 61" - What is meant by "the pairing"?
  1. "(355 feet (108 m) long)" - parentheses inside parentheses are frowned upon. Since a conversion template is being used that automatically inserts parentheses, it seems like the sentence will have to be rephrased to get rid of the parentheses around "355 feet long".
  1. "before separating" -> "before they separate"
  1. "here carrying NY 182" - does this mean that Porter Road is designated as NY 182 at this point?
  1. "where it turns west toward the Whirlpool Rapids Bridge" - "it" needs to be clarified, as three roads have been discussed in the first half of the sentence.
  1. "originally constructed in 1950, was reconstructed" - can one of the "constructed"s be changed to avoid repetition?
  1. References 7 and 8 need publishers.
I tried, I don't think its a reliable source - but it'll do for now.Mitch32(UP) 10:16, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'll place this on hold for now. Comments and questions can be placed here. Thanks, GaryColemanFan (talk) 02:59, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

All done. :) - Mitch32(UP) 10:16, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It's getting close. The map would help quite a bit—any word on that? In "The paralleling of Gill Creek and NY 61", "paralleling" sounds awkward. The "here carrying NY 182" sentence hasn't been changed, so I still find it confusing. Aside from this, everything's looking good. Thanks for the quick response, GaryColemanFan (talk) 15:52, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Probably should promote without the map. The rest are done though.Mitch32(UP) 19:51, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm happy with everything except the lack of a map. I agree that holding the nomination until a map can be made isn't productive, so I am promoting it. I have placed a request for a map at Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Roads/Maps task force/Requests. If you are able to make or obtain one before the task force does, I would really appreciate it if you could delete my request. Thanks, GaryColemanFan (talk) 05:15, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
