Assessments

[edit]

I assessed this article as a B for for the various associated WikiProjects. It is well written, has adequate sources and confirms to the WP:NPOV, WP:NOR and WP:Cite Guidelines.

Name: Central Artery is John F. Fitzgerald Expressway

[edit]

The Turnpike Authority calls the tunnels "the new Central Artery" on its website. Note the lower case "new" modifier. I think that the image adds to the article, but should be supplemented by a good image of the old green viaduct. I am looking for a free one to use.

People doing a web search for "Central Artery" are directed to this page, which is correct. However, when talking about the official name of the roadway in question, it is John F. Fitzgerald Expressway - see the official state web map. It is probably best that the article be renamed "John F. Fitzgerald Expressway", with a redirect from "Central Artery", rather than the other way around as it is currently. Sswonk (talk) 13:55, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Central ArteryJohn F. Fitzgerald ExpresswayCentral Artery seems rather generic for those not in the United States. I would be ok with Boston Central Artery but John F. Fitzgerald Expressway seems preferable. The current title is too close to the names of at least two arteries of the circulatory system. Labattblueboy (talk) 20:36, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Massachusetts Turnpike Extension

[edit]
...as other highway projects meant to complement the Artery were canceled. These
included...the Massachusetts Turnpike Extension coming in from the west.

This extension was, in fact, constructed in the 1950's; I watched some of the work near my family's home in Newton, MA. Originally, it had the derisive name "Callahan's Alley" after the chairman of the Turnpike Authority when it was built. Dick Kimball (talk) 14:02, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
