 * A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
 * B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:

 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass or Fail:
 * Giving this article some more readthroughs over the next few days. Shearonink (talk) 17:31, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
 * I've read through the article several times today, in my opinion it fulfills the WP:GA Criteria. This is a straightforward well-referenced article about a factual non-controversial subject.  There aren't any edit-wars or POV content.  Going forward, the article will need to be kept updated with changes to the route and also any future news-coverage about the associated coming/planned Link light rail changes (community controversies? cost overruns? etc.) should be included.

 * Thanks for the review, . Future changes to this article will not include light rail costs and controversies, as that is outside of the scope (part of the criteria) and would be covered instead on the light rail articles.  Sounder Bruce  23:10, 21 March 2017 (UTC)
 * I misspoke there, should have used more precise language. I was thinking more along the lines of when the light-rail does come in ca 2020, that people who were used to the old bus route will have an opinion (pro or con) about the changes to the bus route itself plus the route itself will change since the tunnel will be reserved for the light-rail.  Thanks for the correction. Shearonink (talk) 23:42, 21 March 2017 (UTC)
