This article, which recently passed a long-overdue A-class review should be set for the star. The only significant issue that I expect to crop up is the sel-published source (SPS) that is Niagara Thunder Alley. However, I feel this source meets the reliable source criterion for SPS exceptions, in that it "may sometimes be acceptable when its author is an established expert whose work in the relevant field has been published by reliable third-party publications", of which there are several.[2]. - Floydian ^τ _¢ 01:15, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• @Floydian: do you mean to transclude this? --Rschen7754 07:18, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Now that it's been transcluded, Support per my review at the ACR. I also did an image review. --Rschen7754 01:26, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comments. As always, feel free to revert my copyediting. - Dank (push to talk)

• "Several explosions followed": That's unexpected ... what exploded?
• "the DHO": What's that?
• Support on prose per my standard disclaimer. These are my edits. I hope to see more Canadian highways on the Main Page. - Dank (push to talk) 22:36, 26 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment A tangential point (frankly the note in question feels rather off-topic), but the note distinguishing Cootes Drive from the QEW could be worded better: Cootes Drive connects Dundas with Hamilton which were separate cities at the time, so the inner-city/inter-city distinction rings hollow.

  • Made some changes to the wording. - Floydian ^τ _¢ 03:30, 14 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Support Refs good, prose and images good. -- Acefitt 13:18, 22 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
