1. I believe "49 mile" is supposed to be hyphenated.

1. "termini" - the plural form of "terminus"? I've never heard the word before.

• Done - Mitch32^(UP) 10:25, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Is that a yes? GaryColemanFan (talk) 14:24, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

That is a yes.

1. "a river", "local roads", "various state roads" - could the names be added?

• Done - Mitch32^(UP) 10:25, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

This hasn't been done. GaryColemanFan (talk) 14:24, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

1. "At the intersection where Route 997 turns off to the north, Route 316 intersects." - this is an awkward sentence

• Done - Mitch32^(UP) 10:25, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

1. "without much activity" - what does this mean?

• Done - Mitch32^(UP) 10:25, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

1. "Pond Bank" - can I assume that this is just past Mont Alto on the route?

• Done - Mitch32^(UP) 10:25, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

1. "The route heads to the northwest" - it should be made clear that this is 997, not 30 (which I am assuming has split off by this point)

• Done - Mitch32^(UP) 10:25, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

1. "without much activity" - see above

• Done - Mitch32^(UP) 10:25, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

1. "Route 997 comes to an end with Pennsylvania Route 233 in McCrea, a route it intersected back in Mont Alto." - "comes to an end with" is awkward, as is "a route it intersected back in". For the second, perhaps ", with which it previously intersected in Mont Alto"?

• Done - Mitch32^(UP) 10:25, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

1. Fayetteville - why not mentioned in the route description? In fact, most of the places mentioned in the "Major intersections" section aren't in the route description.

• Done - Mitch32^(UP) 10:25, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Greene Township, Roxbury, and Newburg still aren't mentioned. Does the road pass through them?

GaryColemanFan (talk) 14:24, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Greene Township is linked at Greenvillage. Now done :) -Mitch32^(UP) 19:38, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

1. "current PA 316 alignment to its current alignment" - could one "current" become "present"?

• Done - Mitch32^(UP) 10:25, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

1. "23 years later" - it is best not to begin sentences with numerals

• Done - Mitch32^(UP) 10:25, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

1. "taken off its alignment on Mont Alto Road, Main Street and Mount Pleasant Road onto its current alignment" - could this be rephrased to avoid one "alignment"?

• Done - Mitch32^(UP) 10:25, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

That helped the sentence, but it still seems a little awkward. "taken off x onto y" doesn't seem to work grammatically. GaryColemanFan (talk) 14:24, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

I'll place this on hold. Feel free to ask/comment here. Best wishes, GaryColemanFan (talk) 03:57, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick response. I struck out the ones that have been resolved, and I left a few more comments. GaryColemanFan (talk) 14:24, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Done now.Mitch32^(UP) 19:38, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
