I commented on the NY 52 discussion that I wasn't sure of the use of the term "the Gunks" (without quotes). Here on NY 55, it's used one time, here with quotes. I'm not one to want to step on toes for either of those two pages, but I'm just wondering about spelling out "Shawangunks" fully every time, or just once within an article and later, the colloquial "Gunks" after that (perhaps with quotes). It's not a decision I want to make, I would rather leave it up to those who are the driving forces behind what are two excellent articles (IMHO). Further, here on 55, I see "the AT" used without quotes, and I had to think a moment that it was "Appalachian Trail" mentioned in the previous paragraph. Here too I'm wondering if it's an appropriate abbreviation but again, not my decision to make. I'm too impressed all around with this article (and NY 52) to want to be quick to change either one.

It looks like the west end is *at* NY 97 and does not actually reach the state line. The bridge to PA 434 looks like its a local county road. Does anyone have more definitive information either way? --

Those other roads referenced correspond to 97 and 17B today. So I guess the state does exclude the route past 97 (of course, the JIBC could continue it to the bridge. Daniel Case 04:01, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
Regarding this:
It is the only other state highway beside NY 7 to completely cross the state, from border to border, in an east-west direction, although NY 17 does so and is partially east-west.
If this (vague) claim refers to geographic direction, it must be noted that none of the routes mentioned are exclusively E/W. This is not true for signed direction either: NY 7 is signed N/S roughly beginning south of I-88, near Binghamton. Posted-south NY 7 then continues south into Binghamton, crossing the Susquehanna, then turns EAST, a complete inversion from its primary orientation, and follows the river roughly E/SE out of the state.
Clarification and verification seems to be needed here. dlainhart ( talk) 15:45, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
