Talk:Adams Avenue Parkway

Assessment

The article has all the "big four", so it's at C-class - CL — 18:34, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

History notes

I don't think the 1997 law applies, since it's talking about UDOT. The only relevant section appears to be "The commission may provide funds for public or private tollway pilot projects from General Fund monies appropriated by the Legislature to the commission for that purpose." --NE2 06:24, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

This is the relevant law. This 2000 bill renumbered and reworded it, but did not change the meaning. It had previously been last amended by Chapter 147, Laws of Utah 1994, and is in fact a very old law. So it appears that no law needed to be passed for the road to be built. --NE2 07:02, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Who owns the bridge? It straddles the county line; did they get a franchise from Davis County? They did. Can anyone access the full article? --NE2 06:38, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

"Councilmember Petersen moved to adopt Resolution 00-027 to accept the Adams Avenue extension connecting to I-84 within the South Weber City limits with the amendment that the City require the developer to install a gate to control access to the area underneath the overpass." I'm not sure exactly what this means - did they accept that it was built or accept it as a public street? --NE2 09:03, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

I think that they accept the road as a road in the city, as they required the AAP people to install a gate to block access to the river from the parkway to avoid campers. --Admrb♉ltz (t • c • log) 09:09, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

The main property owner (and maybe the only one when it was built) is "Pleasant Valley Ranch, LLC", owned by Doug Stephens. --NE2 23:37, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Ah, but the tax was on property owners along existing Adams Avenue too: [3] --NE2 23:39, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

The interchange was built after I-84: [4] --NE2 23:14, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Assessment, part deux

I'd say, with all the expansion that's been going into the article, this is a borderline B-class article. Borderline, because the history section is a bit short. But there isn't much history to go with this anyway, as any opposition, protest, or other things you find with the construction of toll roads was simply not present. This is just my opinion and if you disagree go ahead and revert my actions. Regards, CL — 03:45, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

I'll get to that within the next few days. --NE2 04:55, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

NE - were you planning on getting back to this? --Admrb♉ltz (t • c • log) 17:49, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Adams Avenue Parkway/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

GA review (see here for criteria)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS):

   Lead is a bit short. 1.1 - I know 475 East is a street from knowing about UT roads, but it's not clear from the sentence. Wikilink mph/kph? Spell out 9 percent. 3- 2nd par, last sentence - use a semicolon to avoid run-on. Check MOS to see if they want the 0 in 0.5. Spell out 50.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

   Links 10-11 dead.

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   Great article, just needs a few minor fixes. --Rschen7754 (T C) 07:22, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
