MD 704A

[edit]

MD 704A cannot be as described:

Maryland Route 704A is an unnamed roadway that connects county-maintained Pennsylvania Avenue with a spur to and from Maryland Route 704 and then cul-de-sacs approximately 1/10th of a mile east. It is located in Prince George's County, is approximately 0.15 miles (0.24 km) long, and is aligned in an east-west direction.

Pennsylvania Avenue and Maryland Route 704 are farther apart than that, and separated from each other north-south, not east-west. I have no idea what the correct information is. -- Pemilligan (talk) 22:45, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I rewrote the article and removed the MD 704A section. It is a moot point because MD 704A no longer exists. FYI, it was a service road near MD 704's eastern terminus at MD 450. Viridiscalculus (talk) 02:17, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'll go ahead and take a look at this one. TCN7JM 22:40, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  1. In the RD, there is a string of four straight sentences that start with "MD 704".
    I removed one of the sentence and made one of the references a pronoun to clear that up.  V 00:16, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  2. You didn't use the Interstate abbreviation in parentheses before using it standalone.
    I did not use the abbreviation in parentheses because I use the abbreviation immediately following it for a highway of the same class.  V 00:16, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]


Just these couple comments. It's on hold. TCN7JM 23:01, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. I'll go ahead and pass the article. TCN7JM 12:46, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

63rd Avenue in Washington, DC?

[edit]

Question regarding the following sentence:

MD 704 begins at an intersection with Eastern Avenue near the eastern corner of the District of Columbia. The highway continues south as 63rd Avenue, which heads south toward Southern Avenue and East Capitol Street.

Does this sentence refer to a road in Washington, DC -- given the references in the direction of this road toward both Southern Avenue, NE and East Capitol Street, NE in the District of Columbia? If so, there is no named road in the District of Columbia called 63rd Avenue. The correct reference to the road is 63rd Street, which is located in the NE quadrant in the District of Columbia around the corner from the intersection of Southern Avenue, NE and Eastern Avenue, NE. I've also sent this message to the source, Roadnow, LLC (roadnow.com)Lwalt ♦ talk 08:34, 20 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Quebec99: What was the purpose of this change? -- Pemilligan (talk) 14:44, 27 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That one has a URL, and is a mistake. I am fixing a lot of errors where cite map has no url. Quebec99 (talk) 16:02, 27 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
