review
 * Suggestion: No suggestion given regarding A-Class
 * Nominator's comments: a well-written article that could rise higher in ranks
 * Nominated by: --P C B  23:31, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
 * First comment occurred: 02:54, 7 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Comments: Article is generally well-written, but has some issues:
 * "The department of transportation noted that prior to the retrofit, about 20,000 vehicles per year tripped the alarm." Which DOT noted this, CDOT or USDOT? Also needs a citation.
 * Fixed. --P C B  03:17, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
 * The next two sentences make reference to the opinions of the "trucking industry". Who was saying this on behalf of the industry? An industry group/trucker's association? Which one?
 * The entire first paragraph of "Alternate route" has no references. Especially problematic because height information for Loveland Pass is included in there.
 * The women's-rights thing occurred before the tunnels were finished, but it's discussed after the tunnel's completion. Consider restructuring this section to more closely follow chronological order.
 * The ending of the article seems lacking in general. Part of this is related to the non-chronological order that the History section is in, but it also ends at a weird point. Has anything else happened since the tunnel was opened—any notable incidents, for example?
 * A general copyedit is needed to fix minor issues like missing commas. Sentence flow could use a few tweaks too.
 * If these issues are fixed, I would consider recommending the article for A-Class. —Scott5114↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 02:54, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Comments - I have some concerns before I can support this article for A-class:
 * 1) In the infobox, is it necessary to have a parameter that indicates the tunnel has no tolls?
 * 2) The lead of the article looks a little short and could include a little bit more historical information.
 * 3) For the length of the tunnel, I think feet may be a more appropriate unit than miles.
 * 4) "The trucking industry lobbied the Colorado Department of Transportation, CDOT, to increase the vertical clearance of the tunnel.", CDOT should be in parentheses.
 * 5) "it is now possible for trucks 13.92 feet (4.24 m) to navigate the tunnel" add "high" after height.
 * After the feet or after the meters? Putting "high" after the meters looks a bit awkward. --P C B  03:17, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
 * No, its supposed to go there.  Dough 48  72  03:39, 8 April 2010 (UTC)


 * 1) The first paragraph of the Alternate route section needs a citation.
 * 2) An inflation conversion is needed for $42 million. ---Dough4872 02:12, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
