# Talk:New York State Route 895

I could not find any reference for a prominent individual named Arthur V. Sheridan. fishhead64 (talk) 05:25, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

The Bruckner Interchange is missing a connection from I-95 northbound to I-278 westbound, and the Wikipedia page for that interchange cites I-895 as supplying that link.  However, I see this regarding I-895 (Sheridan Expressway, in New York):
The future of the Sheridan Expressway is uncertain.

In September 2017, AASHTO decommissioned Interstate 895, reverting it to a state route of the same number. Should the page be renamed to New York State Route 895? J4lambert (talk) 20:52, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

GA review (see here for criteria) (see here for this contributor's history of GA reviews)
It is reasonably well written:
Route
Any referenced details describing curves and turns in the road? I've seen them on a few of the state route articles.
Generally, they are sourced to the map. If I include references to a personal observation on a self-published website, it is considered unreliable. epicgenius (talk) 17:06, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
History
Any word on the contractor who built the road? It should be a matter of public record.
Not sure. Other Interstate Good Articles like Interstate 278 or Interstate 287 don't include this info in the articles. epicgenius (talk) 17:06, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
Also wanted to see if there was any imagined traffic count when it was proposed, or if any number was available after. Traffic numbers are often pretty easy to find, in the real estate/development world traffic studies are huge, so any real estate listing nearby, I'd imagine, would have had a number.
I couldn't find any traffic counts for any years except for the most recent years. I don't think Robert Moses put traffic counts into consideration when he came up with his proposals to build highways across New York City. epicgenius (talk) 17:06, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
"The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) proposed expanding the highway in 1997 to relieve traffic congestion..." again here, any numbers on how the traffic had increased on routes around this one would be helpful to explain the proposals.
I removed the part about relieving congestion because I couldn't find it in the source. epicgenius (talk) 17:06, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
"Another $600 million was later added to the budget," ... we're still talking the state budget here, right? State and municiaplities often share costs for roadwork so important that it's clarified.
Yes, it is the state government budget. I have fixed this. epicgenius (talk) 17:06, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
It is factually accurate and verifiable:
Pass Article shows a nice mix of government, media and NPO sources.
It is broad in its coverage:
Pass Sufficient for GA, though again I think there are going to be numbers out there about traffic counts over the years.
It follows the neutral point of view policy:
Pass Per sourcing above.
It is stable:
Pass no problems there.
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate:
Pass All images appear to be good from a copyright perspective.
Other:
Dup links, dab links, external links and copyvio tool all check out on the page.
Source spotcheck Ref No. 19, Ref. 26 and Ref. 34 all back up the content of the article.
On Hold Nothing major, just a few more things before it's good for GA. —Ed!(talk) 02:59, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

Looks good! Passing GA. —Ed!(talk) 20:55, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
