NY 8/NY 10 Discrepancy
I’m posting this on the New York State Route 8 and New York State Route 10 talk pages because I plan to resolve the discrepancy about the former NY 8 and NY 10 overlap. The NY 10 article indicates they no longer overlap and uses a 2017 NYSDOT document to justify that position. The NY 8 article claims the 2017 document is erroneous and the routes still overlap.

I contacted the NYSDOT 9 Public Information Officer, who pursued this with the NYSDOT 9 Traffic & Safety Director and the Delaware South Resident Engineer. I was informed that Reference Marker 1000 (the indication of the start of a New York Route) for NY 8 is at the former split of NY 8 and NY 10. Therefore, NY 8 begins where NY 10 turns right to head east along the Cannonsville Reservoir. No one was willing to state definitively that all NY 8 reference signs were removed between NY 17 and the current start of NY 8.

I plan to perform the updates to both articles in about a week. Incidentally, I checked GoogleMaps and MapQuest. MapQuest identifies the section of road in question as NY 10. GoogleMaps identifies it as NY 8. I’ll contact GoogleMaps after I’ve made the changes.WarrenFW (talk) 05:58, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
