![]() | The contents of the Wilbur Cross Parkway page were merged into Connecticut Route 15#Wilbur Cross Parkway on 2 July 2023. For the contribution history and old versions of the merged article please see its history. |
Many of the trees along the parkway were planted by its designer.

Regarding the Sodium Vapor lamps comment, I don't believe they are actually that rare, so there should be a citation.

The locals who bother not calling it "the Merritt" (which is what it is an extension of, just as the true
Merritt is an extension of the
Hutch) generally call it "the Wilbur Cross" (and the rest may not even notice that the two habits are different), so putting "
W. Cross Pkwy" on exit signs from
I-91 probably doesn't bother anyone from the SE quarter of the state. I imagine, tho, that Old-England folk (perhaps aware of
West Cross in Wales or
the West Cross Route in London) and even other non-New-Englanders -- especially New Yorkers, familiar with the
Cross Bronx and
Cross-Westchester [Expressways], and the
Cross Island Parkway -- are likely to misconstrue (and misremember) what they saw. I'm creating some Rdrs and a Dab or two for the benefit of our diverse readership.

I think that would make sense since 100% of the Wilbur Cross Parkway is part of route 15. There’s no article exclusively for the New England Thruway because 100% of that route is part of Interstate 95 in New York. There’s no article for the Maine Turnpike because 100% of that route is part of Interstate 95 in Maine. I feel the same logic should apply here. Anyone agree?
I removed the section of CT state law mentioned in intro paragraph because when you click on the link (on an iPhone) it assumes it is a phone number and asks you if you want to call it. Unless we can make it so there is no phone number link, we shouldn’t have the number in there. Needforspeed888 ( talk) 03:40, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
