I am nominating this for featured article because I believe it meets all of the criteria for promotion. I-496 is the Ransom E. Olds Freeway, named for the founder of Oldsmobile and the REO Motor Company. The freeway connects downtown Lansing to I-96 and I-69. It was built through a neighborhood that was home historically to the city's African-American population; the results of that construction actually helped to desegregate the city somewhat. The freeway's construction also resulted in the demolition of the historic Olds Mansion, Ransom's former home. I hope you enjoy the history behind this freeway as much as I did writing it.

Since this article is only awaiting a source review before promotion, I will conduct one in a few moments. T C N7JM 05:53, 20 July 2013 (UTC) reply
After reviewing the sources, I have found them to be well-formatted (though I did add a couple spaces for consistency), and there are no issues with reliability or anything else. Therefore, I remain in favor of the article being supported to FA status. T C N7JM 06:19, 20 July 2013 (UTC) reply
