Burke-Gilman

Maybe worth mentioning that for several miles—more or less the Bothell Way portion—the Burke-Gilman and Sammamish River Trails run parallel and close by? - Jmabel | Talk 10:10, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Its western half is primarily an arterial street, named Lake City Way and Bothell Way, following the northern shore of Lake Washington; the eastern half is a grade-separated freeway between Woodinville and Monroe" is it a grade seperate freeway between Woodinville or Monroe or the eastern half? YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 07:58, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Y Clarified it a bit by saying it "runs between Woodinville and Monroe".
"the eastern half is a grade-separated freeway between Woodinville and Monroe." link to Grade separation. YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 07:58, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Y Done.
"The road later became a branch of Primary State Highway 2 in 1937 and was extended east to Redmond and North Bend." in this instance you should clarify this is SR522. YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 07:58, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- N I don't think it needs to be clarified in this specific instance, since the branch highway is succeeding the Red Brick Road, which was mentioned a sentence prior to be part of modern SR 522.
" The highway makes a 180-degree turn south to intersect with US 2, where it terminates; " optional, but I'd use the ° symbol here. YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 07:58, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- N I'd rather keep the spelled-out version.
" The first section of the highway, traveling 7 miles (11 km) from Ravenna Park in Seattle to Lake Forest Park,[20] was completed in 1907 and was pronounced as one of the "finest pieces of road to be found anywhere in the United States".[21][22] From 1911 to 1913,[23] the state and county government paved 4 miles (6.4 km)" why are miles all of a sudden spelled out after it's first useage when it's not spelled out in the infobox? (There are other instances of this as well) YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 07:58, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Y Abbreviated all instances of miles outside of the lead sentence, where it should remain. The infobox was never designed to spell out units anyway, so that can't be changed.
"Long-term plans from the Washington State Department of Transportation for increasing traffic congestion" who on earth would want to increase traffic congestion? 07:58, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
- Y Oops. Fixed that.

Otherwise, it's fine. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 07:58, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
