Talk:Arizona State Route 202

Exit List Edits... thanks guys, more work
Not to sound like a complete jerk here, but you know... if you're going to edit an exit table, at least make sure when you leave the columns jive... as in, make sure you keep the layout there and not have things everywhere. People (myself here) work very hard on making sure the layout is OK on these tables, and when someone comes along to add or change something and completely screws up their work to change a road name or exit number, etc, it kind of ticks me off. I'm going to revert the changes and go back and add in and make as many additions/alterations as possible based off the exit table edits by others, but for gods sakes, if you can't figure out the syntax, just add a request to the talk page to add it in and someone who can will do it. My appologies if someone takes this wrong, but there's now much more work to do to make sure it's right. Thank you. CascadiaTALK | HISTORY 22:06, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

This Article Is Biased
This article fails to reveal that the proposed South Mountain Freeway part of the 202 loop is highly controversial and is opposed by many Phoenix area residents and environmental organizations. The article mentions only the advantages of the freeway and none of the criticisms. It reads like (and perhaps is?) a promotional piece from the Arizona Department of Transportation or others among the freeway's proponents. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.2.52.30 (talk) 17:06, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Merge proposal
I'm proposing merging AZ Spur 202 into this article. I don't believe 202 Spur can become much more than the stub it currently is. --Fredddie™ 01:50, 22 December 2009 (UTC) Merge performed —Scott5114↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 04:13, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Looking at the route on Google Maps, it appears to be nothing more than a ramp connection between AZ 202/AZ 143 and the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. This fact can briefly be mentioned in the AZ 202 article. ---Dough4872 03:52, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Support per above. --Rschen7754 (T C) 04:47, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

This article needs some work
Currently the route description is a somewhat untidy amalgamation of history and actual route description. They really need to be separated. —Scott5114↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 03:39, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

Out of Date
This article needs some updated information.
 * ADOT revealed in a press release in The Arizona Republic on March 9, 2009, that the fate of the South Mountain Freeway will not be decided until at least 2011 due to a need to first balance a $5.3 billion budget shortfall in Arizona's 20-Year Transportation Plan

It is past 2011 and this article still refers to it in the future tense. An update on the ADOT's decision would be useful. bmlbytes (talk) 05:26, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Exit for Arizona State Route 24
The Williams Gateway Freeway exit has opened. I would update the exit list to reflect that but it looks a lot more complicated than I thought it would be, and I also don't know the exact mileage of the ramp. Also I'm not sure the status of the Hawes Rd exit. Someone with more knowledge can hopefully complete this info. CTA MART (talk) 00:45, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

Ed Pastor Fwy. opening
Yes, the Ed Pastor Freeway is opened at last! The article on Loop 202 can really be redone. Nebulous2357 (talk) 21:37, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

South Mountain Freeway just opened
According to ADOT, the South Mountain Freeway opened to traffic today (Saturday, December 21, 2019):. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:8800:2980:7DE:D9D3:CD9B:4FC3:3DDB (talk) 19:46, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

Ed Pastor Fwy. mileposts
The exit list lacks mileposts, along with kilometre posts, for Loop 202 between exits #67 (Vee Quiva Wy) and #78 (Interstate 10 - Papago Fwy). It has been less than a year since the Ed Pastor freeway has opened to traffic. I have placed the Template:Milepost on the section. Don't forget to remove the template once mileposts are added to the table. Nebulous2357 (talk) 21:12, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
 * that's all well and good, but the source we have for mileposts dates back to 2013. I just tried looking through AZDOT's site to find a newer source, but I am not seeing anything.  Can you help find a newer source that shows the mileposts? –Fredddie™ 22:46, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
