- Comment:
Overall very well done. I only have a few nit-pic items that I'm suggesting.
- History: The 2nd and 3rd paragraphs were hard for me to follow. The bulk of these sentences are stating, the freeway was extended to street X, then later extended to street Y. Without a map or familiarity with the area this is tough to visualize. Although this information is in the ELG, perhaps some more info to give context. Suggestions: The freeway was extended 1 mile to street X, the freeway was extended from the northern extents of Corpus Cristi to downtown at street Y, or one final extension to the southern suburbs at street Z. Something like that?
- Route description: Suggest: As I-37 enters the San Antonio city limits, it intersects the northern terminus of US 181. (eliminate the redundant words) Similarly "designated the Lucian Adams Freeway, after the World War II veteran".
Other than that looks good. Davemeistermoab (talk) 05:01, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, I'm not familiar with the area either, but I will see what I can do to clarify things. I took care of the the second bullet. --Holderca1 talk 13:22, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
- Okay, I reworked the second paragraph, let me know if that helps and I will rework the rest of the section. --Holderca1 talk 13:51, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, that does help. I'd try to avoid using a milage figure for every extension if you can think of another way to describe it, but even with just the milage it adds context (short extensions, not massive extensions, etc.)Davemeistermoab (talk)
- I can't think of another way to describe other than by mileage or cross street. The section I edited is entirely within the Corpus Christi city limits and those have most likely changed from when the freeway was built anyway. --Holderca1 talk 12:26, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
- In that case I'd say continue on with adding the milage's. If that's all the information you have so be it. The only other thing I can think of is if somebody has an archive of historical maps to the area.Davemeistermoab (talk) 04:25, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Support. Changing vote to support. My concerns have been addressed.Davemeistermoab (talk) 05:12, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
- Support. Seriously. At first glance, I thought the route description section was being under-referenced, but then I realized that entire paragraphs were being properly referenced to a single source. The only issue I can see is actually with a template, not the article (hence it's not affecting my support) – the phrase "Almost-freeway" has got to go from {{San Antonio freeways}}. -- Kéiryn talk 11:53, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
Comments
- Prior to I-37, the route was served by a combination of State Highway 9 (SH 9) from Corpus Christi to Three Rivers and U.S. Route 281 (US 281) from Three Rivers to San Antonio. - "Route" could mean a few different things - please clarify.
- Maybe link State Highway System?
- 1 - Prior to Interstate 37, the routing for which it would follow was covered by SH 9 from Corpus Christi to Three Rivers and US 281 from Three Rivers to San Antonio. - what is "it"?
- 2 - Three sentences in a row begin with I-37.
- 2nd par - 2nd sentence - what is "it"?
- US 77 merges with I-37 as a freeway from the south, the two continue to the north and split after crossing the Nueces River. I-37 continues to the northwest as US 77 continues to the northeast.[4] - run-on
- May want to put the designation stuff in a separate paragraph.
- Other than that, no issues - good work! --Rschen7754 (T C) 03:30, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
