The article's title should be moved to Bronx-Whitestone Bridge. It is listed as this way on the MTA's website link. The bridge connects The Bronx to Whitestone, Queens, which would denote a hyphen in the bridge's name. Users unfamiliar with the bridge might think "Bronx" and "Whitestone" have a similarity not withstanding the bridge. -- Zimbabweed 22:14, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
"The RPA had also said that the Whitestone Bridge should have rail connections, or at least be able to accommodate them in the future, but had no allies on the project, to Moses' relief." What is the RPA? âPreceding unsigned comment added by 129.42.208.185 ( talk) 17:38, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Comments great article.
That's my first run through. It's a great article. I imagine someone else coming in assessing it against the baseline GAN would just pass it. I'm sorry to give you more than that, but this could easily run at FAC. I hope some of the comments I have help should you decide to take this further.

Unspaced end-dashes in that table.- I will fix these soon. Just have to go over the articles with similar tables with AWB.
Don't quote a range when a range doesn't exist!- How do you mean?
How is $9.50 in 2019 $8.69 yet in the April 2019 row be just $9.50?- That must be a mistake. $8.50 in 2017 is equal to $8.69 today, and that's how the table reads.

One line regarding predecessors of the bridge;
"The idea for a crossing between Ferry Point at Clason Point, Bronx, and Whitestone Point at Whitestone, Queens, was first proposed in 1905 by real estate speculators who wanted to develop Whitestone."
However in the late 19th Century, there was also the Whitestone and Westchester Railroad (originally a subsidiary of the Flushing and North Side Railroad), which was conceived as a potential crossing to the Bronx that was never built. I don't know if this was supposed to involve a ferry or a bridge, but the line that became the former LIRR Whitestone Branch was intended to cross the East River long before 1905. --------- User:DanTD ( talk) 13:18, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
