message: I removed some strange edit that was put up yesterday.  You can check the diff yourself, but it was poorly written, contained lots of typos and some incomprehensible abbreviations, and alluded to the danger to the expressway's bridges from a terrorist attack.  I have no idea, but the person who edited it has no profile and has made only the one edit.  
Btw, I think "necessary evil" is appropriate.  The CBE is the only way of getting from Northern New Jersey to Long Island, by truck/bus/other commercial vehicle, that is.  Otherwise, you'd have to go down to Staten Island, take the Verrazano, then the BQE up to the LIE (or god help you, go through Manhattan in some fashion).  God damn Moses for building all of the bridges over the parkways only tall enough for cars, and god damn him for tearing up neighborhoods to do so (oh, and not putting a train line along the LIE, or putting a subway under the Van Wyck, and ruining the waterfronts on both the Hudson and the East River).  Okay, enough editorializing.  Zweifel 12:52, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Weird Edit Removed

message: My understanding is that the most expensive section of freeway ever built in the United States was either the Century Freeway in Los Angeles (at $2.2 billion for 17 miles of freeway) or the Cypress Viaduct replacement in Oakland ($1.2 billion to replace 1.5 miles of freeway with a longer 2.4 mile route that crossed the same BART line twice and had to squeeze between a rail yard, an army base, a naval supply center, a sewage plant, and a post office).  It sounds like as if the writer meant that the Cross-Bronx had the most expensive mile of freeway ever built at the time.  --Coolcaesar 00:27, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Notes

message: I don't believe there is a definite agreement on how to treat this but I think we should decide on whether we should have multiple copies of the same exits on different articles like Cross Bronx Expressway and I-95 in New York. In this particular case, since the numbering is based on I-95 rather than the Cross Bronx, it is better to not include the exit list here since it is already included somewhere else. Where to include the exit list should be based on the numbering scheme followed. --Polaron | Talk 13:03, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it's helpful to give an exit list for people interested in the Cross Bronx, especially because of the switching from I-95 to I-295. --NE2 13:06, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  redundant exit list 

message: The history section as it is right now is weird - it appears to contain the same information twice, but with one "presentation" inline referenced and one generically attributed to NYCRoads. – TMF 02:50, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  History 

message: Lewis A. Pick's biography doesn't mention any work in New York.  If no reference can be found for his saying something about this highway, or some other US Army engineering officer of high rank who worked the Burma connections, I don't see a reason to keep the comparison in the article.
