I failed this as a Good Article because the history is rather incomplete and badly referenced. For instance, you say that it overlapped 20N from the 1930s to the 1960s, but the sources only indicate that it had one in the late 1930s (assuming the 1938/39 map does show 20N). Reference 9 is badly formatted; the author is the USGS, not U of TX, and the year is 1961.
In addition, the route description is badly written: "Route 174 enters the town of Skaneateles." "The two roads go into Marcellus and split at 10.66 miles." "Route 174 heads to the northeast and U-turns onto West Genesee Street" - it's a sharp turn but not a U-turn.
I'm also not seeing how the Seneca Turnpike followed NY 174; didn't it pass east-west through Marcellus? -- NE2 01:46, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

I have a couple of suggestions:
That's all I have for now. -- Holderca1 talk 15:40, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
I think I've fixed the history; it still needs a source showing that Route 20N still existed in 1960. -- NE2 23:25, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
After copyediting the article a bit, I have passed it for GA. I would suggest that teh author uses more pronouns rather than reusing the title over and over again however. Also, the article would benefit from trying to make the sentences longer and better flowing. If possible, the cost of the roadworks would add value to the article.

The map shows the north end at Genesee Street, but the text says it's at NY 5. -- NE2 23:00, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
For those who want to incorporate such information into the article, this might be a useful source. It's an article about the watershed area of the Nine Mile Creek. -- Polaron | Talk 01:59, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
How is this a featured article? There are countless better things to mention on the English Wikipedia front page. New York State Route 174? Really?!?! You're sinking that low? Tomorrow's article should be on pearl necklaces. At least that's informative. -- Anon 9:15 (EST)
