Delete. Completely unsourced article about a local road in a suburban/exurban area, which just describes the road's physical route and completely fails to provide any context for what would make the road notable at all. While part of the route appears, per Google Maps, to be coterminous with Pennsylvania Route 332, that doesn't justify a standalone article about the named local road as a separate topic -- the part that is designated as a highway is already covered by the highway article, and the rest of it doesn't inherit notability by association just because the highway and the street name diverge in two different directions halfway between Richboro and Jamison. As always, every road that exists at all is not automatically an appropriate topic for a standalone article just because it exists, if it isn't the subject of enough reliable source coverage to pass WP:GNG.

- Delete—as a failure to meet WP:GNG for an independent topic. Assuming ad arguendo for a moment that this were retained, the title would need to be simplified, and the prose would need to be fixed to comply with the expectations of encyclopedic writing style.

- Delete. Completely unsourced article, and after attempting to follow the path of this road on Google Earth, it looks like a non-notable road to me. I would recommend against the creation of articles like this which are based on trying to turn road maps into prose. -- Metropolitan90 (talk) 19:27, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
- Delete. Concur with above. Nothing about this road indicates any notability. MB 01:04, 24 October 2016 (UTC)
- Delete, concur with above. Article is more like directions... Nordic Nightfury 12:04, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
