Highway 6
[edit]It is my belief that Hwy 6 was never a legal co-designation with the Linc. Hamilton just put up 6 shields along the route. Pepsi90919 16:41, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
Parallel Roads
[edit]Do we *really* need this list on this article? I can almost see how the roads on the escarpment might be useful, but the lower city roads? In an encyclopedic entry? Also, Limeridge Road isn't useful as an alternate route as, since the completion of the Linc, it doesn't go straight through any of the roads that connect with the Linc.

Terminus
[edit]Darnall Road is officially on the RHVP and its last exit, not the Linc. I've reverted the article to my previous edit. One can take a look at the linked streetview shots to see the Begins signage and their location for themselves.
- If that's so, would you mind adding the image to the Red Hill Valley Parkway article? I worked hard to get the photographer to release it for use on Wikipedia. Haljackey (talk)
- I removed it from the Linc article with the intention of putting into the RHVP article but stepped away from the computer and forgot to add it. It's a nice photo, wouldn't want to see it orphaned. Snickerdo (talk) 07:42, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
- This is nonesense, based on guess work and speculation. Darnall Road interchange was built as the last on the Linc and Mud Street was the first interchange on the RHVP. See The Red Hill Valley Project at the City of Hamilton. There is no substitute for proper research. Secondarywaltz (talk) 14:53, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
- So which article should File:The Linc.jpg go then? It took me a long time to get permission to use the file. Haljackey (talk) 16:47, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
- The city of Hamilton's signage disagrees with you. It doesn't matter what part of of what highway was constructed where. Hamilton signs Dartnall Road as part of the RHVP, and the above images show it as such. This is NOT nonsense. If someone can come up with an actual document from the City of Hamilton post-RHVP that shows what road is where, fine. Otherwise, the signage that I posted here clearly indicates that Dartnall Road is on the RHVP, not the Linc - regardless of the fact that it was constructed as part of the Linc project.

- [1] should back this up. Dartnall is the dividing line. No reason the photo can't be used in both articles though. - Floydian τ ¢ 05:12, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

- Hah! - After all that, this happens. At least we have a secondary source now that backs up both the before situation and the new current situation. - Floydian τ ¢ 01:37, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

- A few comments:
- It is unecessary to put citations like this: "Poll.[1] Abstain votes:2.[1]"
- Everything in the lead should be in the body.
- If the above is true, then citations in the lead are unecessary.
- Expand the contraction: "don't".
- All from me.--Tomandjerry211 (alt) (talk) 19:15, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
