Let me know when you've completed the fixes! —Rob (talk) 04:37, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

One question real quick - is the map of the concurrency necessary to understanding the route's description? —Rob (talk) 04:42, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I thought of it to be a more generalized map so that a person who's been there can recognize the article and map. Otherwise, everything you listed has been fixed.Mitch32contribs 12:24, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
All right. I've taken a couple cracks at it, and now I think it looks good. —Rob (talk) 17:07, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Western terminus notes

[edit]
  • Distance from I-87 southbound ramps to US 9/NY 149 northern junction: 0.94 miles
  • Distance from I-87 northbound ramps to US 9/NY 149 northern junction: 0.49 miles - this matches the distance given in the traffic counts for the length of the 9/149 overlap
    • Generated using Microsoft Street and Trips
  • Last 149 shield on the NYSDOT topo of Glens Falls is immediately north of the I-87 northbound ramps while the roadway leading to the southbound ramps is a county route

Thus, the western terminus of NY 149 is unquestionably at the northbound ramps to and from I-87. – TMF 06:48, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The reason I had changed the western terminus to the southbound ramp was based on this. --JBC3 (talk) 19:12, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I see. It definitely isn't the first time that NYSDOT has botched the termini of a route in the field (see NY 324 on I-190 north of Grand Island and NY 18F on NY 104 eastbound near Lewiston for two others). In both cases, the terminus that our articles have used have been the official ones and not the ones posted in the field. However, it is 100% fine to mention termini signing errors/discrepancies in the route description, which is how the situation is handled on both NY 18F and NY 324. – TMF 02:46, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
At your suggestion, I have created a Discrepancy subsection in the Route description. If you have thoughts on a better way of presenting it, I'm open to it. --JBC3 (talk) 18:51, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I've reformatted the mention into a couple of lines in the route description, similar to how the situation is presented on NY 324. It's not something I feel needs its own sub-section, and some second and third opinions I received from off-wiki readers agreed with my take. – TMF 02:33, 24 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Looks okay to me! Thanks! --JBC3 (talk) 20:04, 24 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I have updated File:US 9-NY 149 overlap map.svg to reflect the official routing of NY 149. – TMF 03:32, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
