It has been suggested that this article be written in prose rather than the use of bulleted lists, per the Wikipedia Manual of Style. The Manual of style does not forbid lists, but rather says "Do not use lists if a passage reads easily using plain paragraphs." A step-by-step routing does not read easily using plain paragraphs, and ends up containing considerable redundant language. The Manual of style itself uses numerous bulleted lists.

I should clarify that the second of the two bulleted lists was pre-existing. That one could be written in prose and still be readable, though, again, that one was preexisting and not part of what I was contributing, save for some clarification added to one of the bullets in the second list.Bigfitz79 (talk) 22:20, 11 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Prose tags are added, which is fine, but for the record they were not "re-added". Expansion tag was removed when the Route Description section was expanded, however I did not remove any prose tags.Bigfitz79 (talk) 23:00, 11 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
