Try to cut down on the use of "then" in the route description. The sentence "Southward, SH 74 enters Evergreen, where it passes Evergreen Lake and Dedisse Park, surrounded by pine forest." sounds awkward. The second paragraph has several choppy sentences that should be reworded and combined. The sentence "By 1938, SH 68 had replaced SH 74 from Echo Lake to Bergen Park, and the route was extended to its current terminus at US 40." contradicts the rest of the article which says the current terminus is at I-70. Given the fact the I-70 did not exist back then, I have to assume that SH 74 must have been extended from US 40 to I-70 at some point.
An image of the road would be nice, but not required.

Thanks for the review. I believe I have fixed all of the errors mentioned. Any more specifics? --PCB 14:12, 31 May 2010 (UTC)reply
No, at this point, the article looks good enough for me to pass it. Dough4872 19:22, 31 May 2010 (UTC)reply

How can this be a GA without a map showing actually where it is? — Preceding

I don't disagree - in fact, I agree entirely - but having a map isn't part of the Wikipedia-wide GA criteria, thus an article really can't be docked for not having one. I've said this on more than one occasion: I personally don't believe a road article is a "good article" if it doesn't have a map and I would never nominate an article for GA that doesn't have one, but unless the GA criteria makes having images and/or diagrams mandatory, I don't see a lack of a map as ever becoming a valid reason to fail a nomination. – TMF 19:26, 1 June 2010 (UTC)reply
