Did You Know
A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on February 3, 2018.
The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that at 0.7 miles (1.1 km) long, Interstate 878 is the shortest interstate highway in the U.S.?
Current status: Good article

NY 909G SH 9526 from Rockaway Boulevard to City Line - Queens County.

ROW Mapping documents begin with the State Highway number. State Highway numbers (SH#’s) are the significant part of the map name. Duplicate map numbers shall not be created along a single State Highway number. State Highway numbers are limited to 8 characters.

Thus 909G is state-maintained. --SPUI (T - C - RFC) 22:35, 12 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Nassau County local highway traffic volumes (county roads and maybe some municipal roads) lists "NASSAU EXP TEM" 878T as 0.53 mi from Rockaway Turnpike to Burnside Avenue, and Doughty Boulevard 750 as 0.20 mi from Atlantic Beach to toll booth and 0.42 mi from 900V to Meadow Causeway. Rockaway Turnpike 2570 is 0.48 mi from Cedarhurst [Peninsula Boulevard] to Queens. In Queens, Rockaway Boulevard 8549 is 0.40 mi from Farmers Boulevard to Guy Brewers Boulevard and 0.07 mi from end 909G to Nassau County. --SPUI (T - C - RFC) 23:17, 12 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Opening Comments

Welcome to the review for "New York State Route 878". I structure my reviews like a trial. My reviews are all about your voice as I will simply post issues and you will do the work solving them. If necessary I will make very minor copy edits to the article if I feel they don't need a whole bullet point dedicated to them. Anyway, I am looking forward to working with you again.

@AmericanAir88: Thank you for taking up this review. Have you found any issues yet that I should fix? epicgenius (talk) 17:16, 8 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Epicgenius: Thank you, Over the past few days I have been very busy(Snow caused work issues, my article is being GAreviewed) so I apologize for not being on time. I have been combing over the article and taking notes to when I do this review. I expect to do it today. AmericanAir88 (talk) 23:32, 8 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
No worries. I was also snowed in. I look forward to fixing any issues. epicgenius (talk) 23:39, 8 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

Issues

edit

@Epicgenius: *Tons of Redlinks; Either find a link for them or remove the brackets.

*The second paragraph of the lead has a huge run-on sentence in the beginning, grammar issues, and could use some reworking

    • Done.

*"The 3.73-mile (6.00 km) northwest section in Queens is mostly built to freeway standards" This is a Weasel Word. Two solutions: Either elaborate more on this sentence or find a non-weasel replacement for the word.

*The first paragraph of "Northern segment" can benefit with a copy edit.

    • Done.

*"Between the two halves of NY 878, traffic uses Rockaway Boulevard in Queens and Rockaway Turnpike in Nassau County." Needs rewording.

    • Done.

*"However, only the 1.96-mile (3.15 km) piece from Burnside Avenue in Inwood south to the Atlantic Beach Bridge toll plaza in Lawrence is actually considered NY 878 by NYSDOT the road is county-maintained from Rockaway Turnpike to Burnside Avenue." Good Ideas, sentence needs to be reworked.

    • Done.

*Both the Northern and Southern Segments are full of grammatical errors. Do a sweep.

    • Done.

Excellent work on Predecessors and Planning

*"restarted circa late 1973," I know what circa means but others will not. Its not a well known word.

*Some References have Page Numbers next to the "[]". Incorporate the page numbers into the syntax instead of displaying them on the article by using "page="

@Epicgenius: Just these three issues left.

  • The first paragraph of the lead is confusing and has grammar issues/missing words. Especially "The route exists in two sections, connected to each other by Rockaway Boulevard and Rockaway Turnpike. The combined route's western terminus is the Belt Parkway and Conduit Avenue (NY 27) in Ozone Park, southern Queens, and its southern terminus is Atlantic Beach Bridge in Lawrence, southwestern Nassau County."
  • Construction and Delays needs a grammar sweep. There are small errors
  • "From there to just short of the city line is NY 909G; the last 0.07 miles (0.11 km) are again city-maintained." Not encyclopedic
