review
 * Suggestion: Promote to A-Class
 * Nominator's comments: Fresh off a DYK appearance and GA promotion, this is my first ACR nomination since 2008, and really my first attempt at modernizing my road article style by heavily populating it with articles from newspaper archives. I'm aiming to take this one all the way to FA.


 * Nominated by:  Sounder Bruce  22:10, 30 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Preliminary checks
 * RJL should use unnum=yes to add the note that exits are unnumbered (as many are in WA).
 * Fixed.
 * At-grade intersection - doesn't seem necessary here; when it's not a freeway, at-grade is the expected norm and interchanges are what are marked in the notes.
 * Fixed.

More later. --Rschen7754 03:46, 3 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Reference 59 has an extra }.
 * Fixed.
 * RD
 * SR 522 enters the city of Bothell while following a narrow valley formed by the Sammamish River, turning ... what turns? the highway or the river? --Rschen7754 03:45, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Reworded.


 * History
 * Non-Indian settlements - can you be more specific?
 * Changed to Logging settlements.
 * 50 participating automobiles - why participating?
 * Removed.
 * The 8.2 mi-long (13.2 km) Bothell–Monroe... segment?
 * Fixed.
 * Inflation should be using US-NGDPPC since this is construction costs and the values are calculated differently.
 * Fixed.
 * Inflation-fn and Inflation-year need to be updated too, since the data usually lags behind normal inflation by a year or so. --Rschen7754 05:03, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Fixed the rest of the templates.  Sounder Bruce  05:12, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
 * You already mentioned WSDOT in the RD and abbreviated it. I would shorten it to WSDOT here and remove the duplicate link.
 * Done.

Otherwise should be good to go. --Rschen7754 06:21, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I believe I've fixed all of the things you've pointed out.  Sounder Bruce  04:48, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Replied to one issue above - the rest are okay. --Rschen7754 05:03, 11 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Support issues resolved. --Rschen7754 05:18, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

I will review this article.  Dough   4872   02:32, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

Comments:
 * 1) Is "re-designated" supposed to have a hyphen?
 * 2) "Portions of the highway near Woodinville and Monroe were widened between 2001 and 2014, but other sections near Maltby remain two lanes wide, as of 2015.", can this be updated to reflect the status as of the current year?
 * 3) "The interchange only allows movements towards Downtown Seattle", maybe should specify southbound I-5.
 * 4) "Lake City Way continues northeast through Maple Leaf as a four-lane arterial street ...", should mention its undivided.
 * 5) "After crossing the creek, the highway enters the Lake City neighborhood, passing several car dealerships", do we really need to mention that it passes car dealerships? I'm sure "businesses" would suffice here.
 * 6) "In Maltby, the freeway reaches an at-grade intersection with Paradise Lake Road (SR 524) and becomes a two-lane highway", again should mention its undivided.
 * 7) "and crosses over US 2 and a freight railroad near the Evergreen State Fairgrounds.", who operates the freight railroad line?
 * 8) "The Pacific Highway was incorporated into a new national highway system that was approved by the American Association of State Highway Officials on November 11, 1926, and numbered as U.S. Route 99 (US 99).", you already defined the abbreviations for US routes in the lead, I don't see the need to do it again here.
 * 9) "roads clubs"? Is this the correct term as opposed to road clubs?
 * 10) "2 mi-long (3.2 km)", this looks malformed but looks like its because of the template. Is there a better way to display this?
 * 11) Are there any more recent inflation conversions than 2015 available?   Dough   4872   00:17, 25 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Replies
 * 1) Yes, I believe using the hyphen works better in this case.
 * 2) I re-wrote the sentence to avoid quoting a current year. The "as of 2015" initially came in reference to the last funding increase (in 2015) and would not be able to be updated annually.
 * 3) Done.
 * 4) The use of "arterial street" implies that it is undivided.
 * 5) The Lake City Way corridor is pretty notable for its density of car dealerships, so I think it warrants mentioning.
 * 6) Done.
 * 7) Added the operator.
 * 8) Removed the definition.
 * 9) The group in question was a "good roads association", which I've added in lieu of the term.
 * 10) Removed the abbreviations, which were done at the request of the GA reviewer.
 * 11) The inflation template automatically updates when new data comes available, with 2015 simply being the most recent dataset.

I think that's it. A few of your suggestions I left out because of my own opinions on the matter.  Sounder Bruce  02:12, 25 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Support - My issues have been addressed.  Dough   4872   02:37, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

 * What do you think of approving this one? –Fredddie™ 03:58, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
 * With some WP:BOLDness and some consensus I've just changed it to require only 2 supports, so this can pass. --Rschen7754 05:19, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
