Talk:Interstate 5 in Oregon

message: I might be misunderstanding this, but does the infobox seem to imply I-5 in Oregon was built by CalTran? Also, the freeway only gets within 10 miles or so of Corvallis, so if this qualifies for "skirting" then there are a lot towns along the way that need to be added. Add I-5 splits Albany a bit, so again I don't think that is the best way to describe that. Aboutmovies 01:21, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

message: If I list everything in this article that is mislinked as a settlement (i.e. Foo, Oregon), can these be incorporated into the article? Though I think redirects of non-settlements from improperly named redlinks might not be avoidable with the available templates, I think as many of these should be eliminated as possible to avoid confusion. 
===Places===
*Mt. Ashland, Oregon-->Mount Ashland (no locality named Mt. Ashland, refers to the actual mountain)
*North Medford-->The north part of Medford, no actual locality named North Medford
*Canyon Creek-->No locality, refers to the actual creek
*North Canyonville-->The north part of Canyonville
*Stanton Park-->Not a locality, it's a road (GNIS: it's a park)
*South Roseburg-->The south part of Roseburg
*Diamond Lake-->refers to the actual lake, (Diamond Lake (Oregon), which really needs an article). There is also a place called Diamond Lake, Oregon, but it's much more likely people on I-5 are looking for the lake--eventually these will be two separate articles
*Metz Hill=road
*Rice Valley=road
*Red Hill=road
*Scotts Valley=road
*Elk Creek=creek (if notable it would probably have to be named Elk Creek (Douglas County, Oregon) as there are probably a dozen Elk Creeks in the state)
**Looks notable:  Never mind, that's a different one.
*Cottage Grove Lake=lake
*Dorena Lake=lake
*South Eugene=south part of Eugene, the actual neighborhood would be Southeast, Eugene, Oregon, but never a locale by the name of "South Eugene"
*North Springfield=cardinal direction, not actually a place (GNIS)
*South Jefferson=south part of Jefferson
*North Jefferson=north part of Jefferson
*Knox Butte=a butte
*Viewcrest=drive
*Dever-Conner=drive
*Ankeny Hill=Ankeny, the hill or possibly the Ankeny National Wildlife Refuge
*North Salem=north part of Salem  
*Detroit Lake=a lake
*Aurora National Historic District=Aurora, Oregon, which pretty much is the historic district
*North Wilsonville=north part of Wilsonville
*Central Eastside Industrial District, Oregon=encompasses several neighborhoods in Portland--need to do more research. Might merit its own article but certainly doesn't need ", Oregon" 
*Delta Park=a park

message: I have not figured out how to properly make this citation, but I easily found sources of the detailed bicycle prohibitions (which imply that bicycles are allowed elsewhere).  The State's own publication for bicyclists appears to be both easily understood and a reliable source: http://www.oregon.gov/ODOT/hwy/bikeped/docs/bike_manual.pdf, page 19 lists the bicycle-prohibited sections of Interstate Freeway in Oregon.  
http://www.stc-law.com/freewayright.html is another source, though less authoritative.
I have seen the sign at Northbound MP 292.20, but that probably qualifies as original research.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 170.173.0.22 (talk) 00:12, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: A road sign is a very reliable source.  It is authoritative and easily verifiable (in person and by Google Streetview, among others).  Page 19 of the ODOT bicycle manual is a darned good source for asserting the restrictions by implying that non-restricted freeway must be open to bicycles.  —EncMstr (talk) 03:29, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

message: Although not generally referred as such, the portion of I-5 south of Portland near Tigard to Salem was designated the Robert Hugh Baldock Freeway. Oregon_Interstate_Highway_Overview_2004.pdf Baldock was an Oregon highway engineer whose legacy extends to highway construction across the country.

message: Can somebody find a source for the statement that siskiyou pass is the highest point on the interstate? All i could find, that is reliable, is "At over 4,000 feet, the Siskiyou Summit is one of the highest passes on the Interstate System." in this odot article. I personally believe that it is, having driven a lot of i-5, so I do not want to delete, but a reliable source would be helpful. To note, when I googled "highest point on I-5" this article's statement was the result.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Koricind (talk • contribs) 18:44, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Google Earth is a valid source (when properly referenced) for topo data. Visual inspection reveals the Siskiyou Summit statement to be true. I would propose adding the following reference; 42|3|40.47|N,122|36|24.08|W(GoogleEarth) as one suggestion. Kyle(talk) 21:47, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
