GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Washington State Route 529/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Comments:

The sentence "The 7.88-mile (12.68 km) long roadway extends north from an interchange with Interstate 5 (I-5), numbered exit 193, past the western terminus of U.S. Route 2 (US 2), its spur route, Downtown Everett and Naval Station Everett to cross the Snohomish River and the Steamboat Slough to interchange with I-5, numbered exit 198, before crossing the Ebey Slough and entering Marysville to end at SR 528." is wordy and needs to be split.
I don't think traffic counts from 1980 are accurate in the route description.
Do not use "then" in describing progression of route.
"and intersecting various streets": intersecting should be intersects.
"the older alignment of the roadway and US 99 and Marine View Drive" sounds awkward.
"part of the Delta neighborhood of Everett, named after the delta of the Snohomish River located to the southwest": remove comma after Everett and add "that is" in its place.
underpass redirects to tunnel and I do not think it is relevant in that context.
The sentence "Between 2005 and 2008, exit 192 on I-5 was reconstructed and a new flyover ramp from I-5 northbound to Broadway northbound was added and the 41st Street interchange was transformed into a single-point urban interchange." is wordy.
The sentence "State Road 1 was replaced by Primary State Highway 1 (PSH 1) in the Primary state highways, created in 1937." sounds awkward.
Democratic Party needs to be disambiguated to Democratic Party (United States)
Template:Shban should be added for SR 529 Spur in the Spur route section.

I am placing the article on hold. Dough4872 (talk) 17:02, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merging Interstate 5 Business (Marysville, Washington)

I would say that the Interstate 5 Business (Marysville, Washington) article should be merged into Business routes of Interstate 5 instead of the WA 529 article because the list is suited to cover business routes of I-5 (which it was) and it appears only a small part of I-5 BUS followed WA 529. ---Dough 48 72 17:03, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think there's literally nothing accurate to merge. The only source cited that mentions the history, http://www.interstate-guide.com/business-routes/bus05.html, puts it to the south of what the article claims. The map in the 1985 traffic report shows SR 529 following Broadway through Everett, so initially I-5 Bus. was all SR 529 (if Interstate-Guide is correct). (Incidentally, the SR 529 article is also a mess.) --NE2 22:12, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So we should just redirect this then? --Rschen7754 (T C) 19:12, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I would say redirect the business route to the Business routes of Interstate 5 article as that is the most logical place. ---Dough 48 72 19:51, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
