Hi, I'll take a look at this article.--Harper J. Cole (talk) 22:26, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

= Lead =

  • Is there a citation for the alternate name (Southwest Boulevard)?
  • I don't think you need to say that it's short right before giving the length - that's giving the same info twice (I'd drop the word "short" as it's less precise).

::{{fixed}} I agree -420Traveler (talk) 00:59, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

= Route description =

  • Is it a one-way road? Saying that it begins with the K-99 intersection implies that south to north is the only direction of travel. If it is two-way, perhaps begin the sentence with "When approached from the south..."

  • Instead of "soon reaches an intersection" and "soon curves back north", could approximate distances be given (one of your sources is a map with a scale)?

= History =

  • It looks like the 2004 resolution was approved specifically by Secretary of Transportation Deb Miller - worth mentioning and linking to her page.

::{{fixed}} Should be fixed now? -420Traveler (talk) 00:59, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

= References =

  • Reference 1 doesn't work for me. This may due to my location (the UK), but worth checking out.

::I will look for a different source. It works at times and then wont, we have been having trouble with it for months. -420Traveler (talk) 00:59, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

= Other =

::Should I add:{{efn|Not to be confused with Southwest Boulevard (Kansas City)}} after Southwest Boulevard? -420Traveler (talk) 01:05, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

::: {{u|420Traveler}} I think Template:Distinguish could be used at the start for this. Harper J. Cole (talk) 19:16, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

:::: {{u|Harper J. Cole}} I think that template is only used to distinguish the title of an article. -420Traveler (talk) 21:29, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

::::: {{u|420Traveler}} Ah, okay. Just a note should be fine, then.--Harper J. Cole (talk) 22:15, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

:::::: {{u|Harper J. Cole}} Added the footnote. -420Traveler (talk) 11:40, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

= Summary =

  • A short article, but you cover all the key information. I'll await your feedback on the comments above.Harper J. Cole (talk) 23:10, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

::Hi, I fixed most things, just have a few questions. -420Traveler (talk) 01:08, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

:::Thanks, I'm happy to pass this one now. Just the one slight issue with the erratic link on citation 1, but it does seem to work about 50% of the time, and your project are aware of the issue. I don't think we need to hold up passing the article.--Harper J. Cole (talk) 17:07, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
