Some initial points:

  • In the lead:
  • "The highway was designated by 1931" - should that not be in 1931?
No. Nothing has proved if the highway was assigned in the 1930 state highway renubmering.3 1/2 years of Mitch32 19:29, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Then should it not be the 1931... something? Act? It makes no sense when it's just a year. Majorly talk 21:28, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
There was no act. All we know its was assigned by the time NY reached 1931.3 1/2 years of Mitch32 21:57, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm not too keen on the bolding in the lead.
Perfectly allowed.3 1/2 years of Mitch32 19:29, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • The lead is very confusing - how are the two roads related? Are they two different roads, or just different names for parts? I can't make head or tail of it.
The right-of-way and designations match and follow each other. CR 101 becomes SR 101, then returns to CR 101.3 1/2 years of Mitch32 19:29, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
This isn't very clear in the lead though. It just sort of jumps to the different route suddenly. Majorly talk 21:28, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Route description:
  • What is an allignment?
The routing of the highway.3 1/2 years of Mitch32 19:29, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Is this explained in the prose? Majorly talk 21:28, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Doesn't need to, Alignment, although it has different meanings, is not WP:JARGON.3 1/2 years of Mitch32 21:57, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • "A short distance after the curve, County Route 101 edges close to Williston Park, New York, becoming more developed in the process" - what is "more developed"?
Clarified.3 1/2 years of Mitch32 19:29, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Some idea of distances would be good.
US Roads stopped that process over a year ago.3 1/2 years of Mitch32 19:29, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
OK. Majorly talk 21:28, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Depends.3 1/2 years of Mitch32 19:29, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • "short commercial buildings and one short complex" What is short referring to, their heights?

  • History:
  • "No other documents or inventories produced by the department do not follow suit" - I can understand what it says, but I'm not liking the double negatives there. But then I don't get the rest of the sentence: "No other documents or inventories produced by the department do not follow suit, marking Route 101 along the highway's northern terminus at Astor Lane" - what is marking Route 101? What is marking?
Done.3 1/2 years of Mitch32
  • "The 11.5-mile (18.5 km) long expressway, which would have cost $45 million and instead, the construction went to extending the Meadowbrook State Parkway northward" doesn't make sense. I'm also not too keen on "killed off" - it sounds very colloquial. How about "canceled", "scrapped" or "abandoned"? Killed off just sounds a little odd.
Reworded.3 1/2 years of Mitch32 19:45, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Major intersections
  • An extremely short section - is there any way it could be merged with another? Also, is there any point in the notes column?
Changes. And I can't fix that, template issues.3 1/2 years of Mitch32 19:45, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OK, as far as I can see, this meets GA criteria. Good work. Majorly talk 19:50, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
