This article is a very promising GA nominee. I'm delighted to see your work here. I'm putting the article on hold. All the best! --Seabuckthorn  04:13, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Beefed up the lede to include info on the parkway construction, and merged the last two paragraphs of the History section (the second last one was the only one I could see as being too short). Cheers, Floydian τ ¢ 23:27, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
