This article is a very promising GA nominee. I'm delighted to see your work here. I'm putting the article on hold . All the best! --Seabuckthorn ♥ 16:44, 7 January 2014 (UTC) Reply
Thank you for the review. I've fixed the first sentence and beefed up the lede with a few additional points, but I can't do much more without getting into finer details best left out of the lede. The general flow of that first sentence is consistent with all Ontario highway articles so occasionally it's hard to work in those details. Cheers, Floydian τ ¢ 00:51, 8 January 2014 (UTC) Reply
