Contested intersection[edit]

The highway does indeed intersect --with an interchange-- with the New York State Throughway / I-87/ I-287 at SR 45's exits 9W and 9E, as evidenced by www.mapquest.com. Dogru144 17:15, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm checking out MapQuest right now, and I don't see that. Plus, Exit 9 is on the opposite side of the Hudson River. Besides that the last time I was on that section of the Thruway, NY 45 had no interchange with it. The closest ones to it I can think of are Exits 14(NY 59) and 14A(Garden State Parkway Extension), with connections between Pascack Road. ---- DanTD 18:04, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Note that he said "at SR 45's exits 9W and 9E." My guess is that somehow you've confused NY 45 with the Palisades Parkway. NY 45 crosses the Thruway just west of Exit 14A for the Garden State Parkway, with no interchange. -- NORTH ^talk 19:54, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see how I could possibly get that confused. SR 45, as he called it, is at Exit 12 on the Palisades Interstate Parkway, but at no interchange with the New York State Thruway, as we both pointed out... unless a new one was built in the past two years, connecting between Route 45 and the Garden State extension. I can't imagine Route 45 itself having any exit numbers, unless the formerly proposed Spring Valley Bypass had been built. ---- DanTD 02:22, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, I wasn't clear with my pronouns there. Both "he" and "you" in my previous comment were meant to refer to Dogru144, not DanTD. I've already reverted the article to include the original statement, which was correct. -- NORTH ^talk 02:31, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I live in Rockland County and NY 45 does NOT intersect the Thruway. -Airtuna08 (talk) 04:51, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GA Review[edit]

This review is transcluded from Talk:New York State Route 45/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

GA review (see here for criteria)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS):
km should be rounded to the tenth (or hundredth, as in the infobox), not the nearest whole number. "NY 45 is a relatively quiet road" - I'm not sure what this means. If it means relatively fewer cars based on AADT numbers, say that explicitly. :-D "Traffic here tends to pile up many times a day." - subjective. Cite a news source, or remove. "During the 1960s, the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) noticed a population boom in Rockland County." - poorly worded... maybe they reacted to the complaints of residents (the same ones who later cancelled the bypass), but if they were being proactive, cite a source (or use the one given) and say so.
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
See above
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
Half the mileposts are missing... why?
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars etc.:
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:
Not bad so far! Good luck!

Done - I believe I've solved it all.Mitch32^(UP) 00:49, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
