# Talk:New York State Route 16

I was doing some work on the I-190 exit list today, and in the process, I found myself wondering what path NY 16, which parallels the expressway south and east of downtown, takes through Buffalo. The trip-planning software that I use, as well as Google Maps, shows NY 16 entering downtown on Seneca Street, and continuing on Seneca past Swan Street's eastern terminus to Harriet Tubman Way then Swan then to Ellicott Street, where it ends at NY 5. The distance measurement in the Erie County NYSDOT traffic count, however, indicates that NY 16 remains on Swan Street from its start at Seneca Street to Ellicott Street. On the other hand, the DOT map shows NY 16 running north on Swan and south on Seneca.
Does anyone know which of these, if any, is the correct routing? --TMF Let's Go Mets - Stats 22:05, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

GA review (see here for criteria)
This is a nice piece of work, but it still has some shortcomings with respect to the good article criteria.
It is reasonably well written.
a (prose):  b (MoS): 
Inconsistent use of NY vs. Route - also should it be SR? 1.1 - 2nd sentence *might* be able to be rewritten to sound better. 1.2 - last 2 sentences could use commas. 17/86? 1.2 2nd and 3rd par - clean up, there's a ( but no ) and 2nd sentence is a bit poorly written. 1.3 - first sentence needs a bit of cleanup. Why is Erie County Route 572 bolded? Lots of numbers with no abbreviations.
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references):  b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR): 
Ref 1 and 11 dead. Ref 3 - is that Yahoo?
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects):  b (focused): 
The section about PA 646 really needed? I still have concerns about that, but I won't make it a further issue for GA.
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias: 

It is stable.
No edit wars etc.: 

It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales):  b (appropriate use with suitable captions): 

Overall:
Pass/Fail: 
Hold - This article is comprehensive and doesn't have a whole lot of issues apart from section 1.2. Good work! --Rschen7754 (T C) 07:00, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
Done excepting removing the PA 646 section - I am adding a small bit of PA 646 to give a reader a better idea of the road that NY 16 follows. :) -Mitch32(UP) 19:21, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
Updated on the abbreviations - all fixed ;)  -- Mitch32(UP) 21:50, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
Passing the article. --Rschen7754 (T C) 22:01, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
