Prose

 * "The Metropolitan West Side Elevated Railroad Company" – should company be capitalised?
 * As a proper noun, yes.
 * Noted.
 * Wikilink right of way.
 * Done.
 * "serve various parts of Chicago's west side" – wikilink Chicago.
 * Not done, per MOS:OVERLINK.
 * Fair enough.
 * "would come back to haunt the company" – reads rather unencyclopaedic; recommend rephrasing.
 * Rephrased.
 * "creating the "West-Northwest Route" that" – are the quotations necessary?
 * As a route that no longer exists and does not/should not have an article, I think so.
 * Forgive me as I am unfamiliar with the relevant policies—is the death of Sidor Bobel notable enough to be mentioned? Additionally, dedicating a section to this death might give it unbalanced notability IMO.
 * I originally added it for DYK purposes since I'd like a Four Award for this, but the commercial building should suffice for it. I still think it differentiates this station from its neighbors, but I'm open to removing it. If it's included, it doesn't belong in any other section IMO.
 * Well, are pedestrian train station-related deaths infrequent? The rarer they are the more notable including this would be in my view.
 * The sentence starting "The station house, made of red pressed brick" is quite long; could it be split into two? Relatedly:
 * Done
 * Is "specifically marked "Entrance" and "Exit"" noteworthy?
 * IIRC, Garfield mentions it. While he's not the definitive authority here (as we've discussed before), I still think it's worthy of comment.
 * "in response to a 1918 influenza outbreak" – does it happen to be the 1918 flu pandemic?
 * I highly suspect so, but Moffat doesn't expressly state as such.
 * Fair enough.
 * "Chicago Avenue had two streetcar lines;" – recommend replacing the semicolon with an en dash to avoid using it twice in this sentence.
 * Rephrased it another way.
 * I doubt there needs to be two paragraphs in Ridership; recommend merging into one.
 * Done. I'm on mobile, but I also did the recommendations for the refs and miscellany. – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 19:55, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I send my condolences.

Refs
All sources used are either RS or used appropriately. Passes spotcheck—no concerns with refs 5, 9, 16, 25, 31, 37 or 49. Note that I could not find access to Moffat, but will assume good faith.


 * Recommend using Template:Cite map for ref 5. Also, mention the publisher.
 * In Works cited, change Archive.org to Internet Archive.

Other
Short desc, WP:ALT text, coords, infobox, nav and cats good.


 * Recommend adding Template:Use X English.
 * The navbox goes one space above categories.
