NY 909G SH 9526 from Rockaway Boulevard to City Line - Queens County.

ROW Mapping documents begin with the State Highway number. State Highway numbers (SH#’s) are the significant part of the map name. Duplicate map numbers shall not be created along a single State Highway number. State Highway numbers are limited to 8 characters.

Thus 909G is state-maintained. --SPUI (T - C - RFC) 22:35, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nassau County local highway traffic volumes (county roads and maybe some municipal roads) lists "NASSAU EXP TEM" 878T as 0.53 mi from Rockaway Turnpike to Burnside Avenue, and Doughty Boulevard 750 as 0.20 mi from Atlantic Beach to toll booth and 0.42 mi from 900V to Meadow Causeway. Rockaway Turnpike 2570 is 0.48 mi from Cedarhurst [Peninsula Boulevard] to Queens. In Queens, Rockaway Boulevard 8549 is 0.40 mi from Farmers Boulevard to Guy Brewers Boulevard and 0.07 mi from end 909G to Nassau County. --SPUI (T - C - RFC) 23:17, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good day, I hope you are having a fantastic week. I hope we can get through this easy and stress free. AmericanAir88 (talk) 00:27, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to the review for "New York State Route 878". I structure my reviews like a trial. My reviews are all about your voice as I will simply post issues and you will do the work solving them. If necessary I will make very minor copy edits to the article if I feel they don't need a whole bullet point dedicated to them. Anyway, I am looking forward to working with you again. AmericanAir88 (talk) 00:27, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@AmericanAir88: Thank you for taking up this review. Have you found any issues yet that I should fix? epicgenius (talk) 17:16, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Epicgenius: Thank you, Over the past few days I have been very busy(Snow caused work issues, my article is being GAreviewed) so I apologize for not being on time. I have been combing over the article and taking notes to when I do this review. I expect to do it today. AmericanAir88 (talk) 23:32, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. I was also snowed in. I look forward to fixing any issues. epicgenius (talk) 23:39, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Epicgenius: *Tons of Redlinks; Either find a link for them or remove the brackets.

• • Done, but I'm not sure that's a problem. epicgenius (talk) 04:35, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

*The second paragraph of the lead has a huge run-on sentence in the beginning, grammar issues, and could use some reworking

• • Done.

*"The 3.73-mile (6.00 km) northwest section in Queens is mostly built to freeway standards" This is a Weasel Word. Two solutions: Either elaborate more on this sentence or find a non-weasel replacement for the word.

• • What is the weasel word? Anyway, I elaborated. epicgenius (talk) 04:35, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

*The first paragraph of "Northern segment" can benefit with a copy edit.

• • Done.

*"Between the two halves of NY 878, traffic uses Rockaway Boulevard in Queens and Rockaway Turnpike in Nassau County." Needs rewording.

• • Done.

*"However, only the 1.96-mile (3.15 km) piece from Burnside Avenue in Inwood south to the Atlantic Beach Bridge toll plaza in Lawrence is actually considered NY 878 by NYSDOT the road is county-maintained from Rockaway Turnpike to Burnside Avenue." Good Ideas, sentence needs to be reworked.

• • Done.

*Both the Northern and Southern Segments are full of grammatical errors. Do a sweep.

• • Done.

Excellent work on Predecessors and Planning

• "Construction of the new roadway was completed in 1967[37]:I-3 or 1971.[2]" The article needs a precise year.
  • It could be either year. I reworded. epicgenius (talk) 04:35, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

*"restarted circa late 1973," I know what circa means but others will not. Its not a well known word.

• • I thought anyone who speaks decent English would know what circa means, but I reworded anyway. epicgenius (talk) 04:35, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

*Some References have Page Numbers next to the "[]". Incorporate the page numbers into the syntax instead of displaying them on the article by using "page="

• • If you are talking about {{rp}}, there is no problem with using it. I need to give specific page numbers for each statement, and putting it as part of the source will actually create a problem. I do not want to use {{sfn}} because of WP:CITEVAR. epicgenius (talk) 04:35, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Epicgenius: Just these three issues left.

• The first paragraph of the lead is confusing and has grammar issues/missing words. Especially "The route exists in two sections, connected to each other by Rockaway Boulevard and Rockaway Turnpike. The combined route's western terminus is the Belt Parkway and Conduit Avenue (NY 27) in Ozone Park, southern Queens, and its southern terminus is Atlantic Beach Bridge in Lawrence, southwestern Nassau County."
  • I split it up into 5 sentences. epicgenius (talk) 20:25, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Construction and Delays needs a grammar sweep. There are small errors
  • I fixed that small errors. epicgenius (talk) 20:25, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• "From there to just short of the city line is NY 909G; the last 0.07 miles (0.11 km) are again city-maintained." Not encyclopedic
  • It would be inaccurate to say that the reference route stretches all the way to the city line. epicgenius (talk) 04:35, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • I mean just removing "again" as it sounds personal.
      • OK, that makes more sense. I removed it. epicgenius (talk) 20:25, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
